Not prepared...

We were not prepared for how horrible things would feel this late in the game. We were warned by our social worker and various program directors at our agency that the waiting would get very hard. We thought to ourselves, how much worse can it feel than waiting an eternity for a referral? Well, be assured, it got worse. We now realize that no matter what we had been told, there was no way we could have been prepared to deal with such raw emotion. It's killing us to know that Graham is living on the other side of the world. We're envious, and probably even jealous, of the fact that his foster mother gets to hug and kiss him each night, wake up to him each morning, and fill her days with everything baby. We, on the other hand, are here, wondering what all that is like. Please keep Graham in your thoughts and prayers. We know he is loved over in Korea, but we also know that he needs to come home to his Mom and Dad.
