I'm ready to get off now

I'm ready to get off the roller coaster. Here's today's latest: In the past two days, agencies have let people with LID’s of the 9th, 12th, and 15th know that they will not be included in this batch. And, agencies have let people with LID’s of the 5th and 8th know that they are in this batch.

It's not official yet, but it's close. Looks like it's going to be Dec. 8th. I'm stepping off the rumor roller coaster and will probably get on board again next time.

I usually do not report rumors, but I wanted to everyone to have an idea of what this process is like...emotionally exhausting. For the past two years, we've been getting up every morning and going about our day to day life. This adoption process has been going along with us. No matter where we are, what we're doing, what's happening at the CCAA is always with us. It's a huge burden to carry. We try out best to keep it (and our emotions) in the back of our mind, but we're constantly asked "Have you heard anything?", "What's the latest?", "Are you any closer?". It gets harder and harder to answer the questions because you just don't want to talk about it. We certainly did not plan on being married six years before beginning a family. (February will be six years. God willing we won't make the seven year mark.) We definitely didn't plan to be in our 50's with teenagers, but it now looks like we'll be the "old parents" at graduations.

Until next time......
