I was going to go into this all out whine about how I hate the uncertainty of this process. I did a search for an accompanying image and came across the above. Somehow it made me smile and to not want to whine any more. I didn't realize that Andy Warhol could do that.Thank you, Andy Warhol.

amen sistah. thanks. i was feeling that way too. :)
It's way better to feel good about the wait than to drown in it. Nice find!
You know I love Andy Warhol. I went to the same school as he did. Who knows, I may have even slept in the same dorm room. Love that quote!
Angela,
I had no idea you blogged. I'm glad I found your blog. I will be adding it to my list of favorites~
I'm thankful you found this poster of Andy Warhol.
(((hugs)))
So true! You have to "accentuate the positive!" :)
Soooo true!
Hey I just read your post on Susan's post. Hey you know I've freaked out many times, that this thing isn't going to happen, and what's going on with my dossier, and don't they like us stuff.
I think its totally natural to feel left out, left behind, ignored, and less liked by someone out there who's holding your dossier. Its not like they don't know everything about you, becuase its all there in that 3 pound bundle of hope they're holding. And yet, so impersonal.
This is what this blogging community is for: you will get there. You will get a healthy happy child who needs you. And you need this child.
Everything I read said that adoptive parents feel like "less" becuase they've gone through so much to even decide to adopt a child (and you have) so what you're feeling is totally natural. BUT remember this too: that it takes a special kind of person to adopt.
Not everyone would and not everyone could, so this is a priveledge and an honor and means you are a strong, loving, giving person who is willing to put yourself "out there".
Anyway, hang in there - it will happen and you have this fan club in your corner cheering for you.
Hi Angela!!! I love the Doctor Seuss book you mentioned and particularly the part about The Waiting Place....but I am here to tell you that all the frustration you feel now and will still feel in the future before you meet your new child....all of it melts away like snow on a hot day. All of it. It is a great feeling to have it all just go away once you meet your child.
