Our social worker is a wonderful woman, she checks in periodically and truly makes me feel "in the loop". I emailed her a question a few weeks ago, she responded right away, and then followed up again the other day. She got us linked up to a blog through LSS that provides us with timely information and monthly adoption statistics. She also mentioned that there were several expecting women looking at family profiles. It made me want to vomit. OK, I didn't really vomit, but it made me nervous! I want ALL of the families to get selected....we met so many wonderful people during our training and I know they've been through what we have. They want to grow their families, too. But, I want us to get picked, too. I have faith that we will get matched with the right family/ies, but I also fear rejection along the way. Probably because it seems like we've had so much in the last two years. Rejection, loss, sadness. I feel like we should get some sort of "get out of jail free card", but I know that's not how it works.
After about a day, I felt less nervous and went back to my normal, "it will all work out" mentality. We will wait patiently and trust.
