Adoption Wait is a Rollercoaster

Despite the theoretical lack of pregenancy hormones (and sympathy hormones), we're finding that the final weeks of an adoption are an emotional rollercoaster. While I think we are taking things fairly well, and keeping things in perspective, it's challenging to hear that a referral might be on the way, only to find out that it's not for us. So, we paint, we move, we crochet baby blankets, paint some more, and wait for the news that we are parents again. Sometimes, it's difficult. We aren't to tears yet, but it is starting to ache.
