Things People Say: Adoption Volume 1
February 15, 2011
I know that when the timing is right the baby will come and that the baby we get will be exactly perfect for us. I *know* that. But…
It doesn’t make the waiting easy.
It doesn’t take away the disappointment of not being chosen.
It doesn’t make us less hopeful that this baby is the one.
Please don’t tell me that things happen for a reason, that it’s all going to work out, and that when we do get our baby, we’ll be glad this is the baby we got. Or are you seriously worried there’s a chance that when the baby comes I’ll look at it and say, “Meh. I guess he’s okay. I bet that baby I almost got three months ago would have been way more awesome though.”
