Some days, the wait is harder than others. As those who know me say, I don't wait well. I sit in my office at home and stare at the binders on the shelf:
Paper Chase, Referral, and Travel. They are inactive, gathering dust.
On those days when the pity party is cranked up to 11, I sit down and pull up YouTube.com.
What a wonderful thing. I type "Gotcha Day" in the Search field and up pops pages and pages of videos of parents meeting their babies for the first time.
Stories of travel. Rooms full of new families. Babies cradled in their parents' arms for the first time.
Lots and lots of babies; screaming, happy, sad, goofy, sleeping and playing.
I watch and forget about the wait and wonder about the moment when it will be our turn.
