I am feeling neglected. I can't explain it but either people are afraid to ask, or they just have forgotten, I AM HAVING A BABY. Lia-Rose will be in my arms one day...And I know that it seems crazy because this wait has become so unbearably long, but you know what, I am going to be a mother. I don't mean to point fingers at anyone, because it is no one in particular. It's the big elephant in the room. (or whatever that expression is)
I thank you for caring...but once in awhile, ask me. Don't avoid it. Just ask...What's the latest? Have your heard anything? Have you thought about what you want her room to look like? Please ask. It makes it real for us all. I am going to have this child. I am. So please, don't forget ...just ask.

It's amazing that after a three year plus wait, the most unbelievable little girl is in our arms....now we are trying to catch our breathe! The party is just beginning!

Rant away. It sucks that people aren't asking those very types of questions. I felt as though I had to alway broach the subject with people first and then they would respond, oh, I was afraid to ask about the adoption. Huh?!!
I know...I guess if you don't ask a pregnant women it is not quite the same. She is visably pregnant. When you don't ask us, it's different. Unless you ask, you figure they have forgotten. I don't mean to sound selfish. It is just the way I feel.
Oh I can so relate.... I have a family member who has 1. not ever even acknowledged we were adopting and 2. obviously never, ever asks what is going on. Now I seem to get a lot of, "ooh are you sure this is meant to be" - wtf. Don't get me started!!! Hoping to get on tonight at 7:30 - putting dinner on the table now - 6:45. Good talking to u today. xoxo
Me too! Me too!
Why is it any different?So it's longer. So we are not showing. Regardess, we long for our babies just the same.

They just don't get it and never will! People who aren't "in it" do not understand - it doesn't excuse them - and you are SO right, you WILL be a mom!!!!! :)
Of course you rant away...people should ask...you will have Lia-Rose home one day and they should want to know how things are going!!
Love ya!!
If you were talking about me, I'm sorry. I can't wait for my baby!!!
Ask as you shall receive….
How did you pick the name Lia-Rose? (Sorry if it’s somewhere in your blog… I’m a newer friend of yours…)
Will your daughter be named after anyone special?
How are you going to celebrate when your daughter finally comes? Are you having a baby naming ceremony? What would you like it to be like?
Besides health, what are the biggest hopes you have for your daughter’s future?
How do you feel about that whole movement where the baby sleeps in the bed with the parents?
Are you going to let your daughter cry for a while in the other room – or pick her up immediately when you hear her weepy?
What’s the first trip you want to take your daughter on?
What three books are important for you to share with your daughter?
What do you want your daughter to call your parents and sister? (Granny? Nana? Grandma? Poppy? Gramps? Grandpa? Auntie?)
All is fine in my paperchase of a world. I cannot get emotional right now while I am waiting for my travel dates (sometime in the next 15 days)… I need to focus on the paperwork and leave emotions out of it… it’s the only way to try to survive this.
HANG IN THER MAMA…. I’ll ask more questions soon…
Forever,
Your Anonnie
I love Annonie ... and LOVE Lia-Rose - you know how much I do. Sorry if instead of asking, I just tell you how much I love her! Hope that is okay and I will tell you every time we speak ... and tell her so much that she is going to roll her sweet eyes at me and I won't care. I LOVE her. I can't wait to gut ta nu her!
First off...I love all of you.
KJo and Lori, please stop..you guys are two of my biggest supporters from the real world...and I know you love her and me.
Annonie...you have made me sob. I mean I am sobbing. I think I needed a good cry and boy am I. I am going to answer all of those questions...in a post :) Thank you for giving me the chance.Thank you.
And I am so happy for you and can't wait to learn more about you and your daughter. xoxoox
Hey girlie...I've been there, and trust me, I know how you feel! You just want to shout "hey, I know it's taking forever, but this is REAL...THERE WILL BE A BABY!" Flip side, though, at least for me...when things did start moving, albeit very slowly, and with all the stops and starts, some people were asking me EVERY FREAKIN' DAY, "so, any news??"....OMG!!!
Ok, that was MY rant. Sorry to hijack... LOL
Me, I can't wait til L-R is in safely your arms, running around and making you nuts. It will happen!!!
Awww... Wendi!
First of all, I love the name Lia-Rose...and how you came to name her..
Here are my questions for your pregnancy :)
1) Any cravings? (except for L-R)
2) How old do you think she'll be at referral?
3) Where in China does your heart tell you she is? (mine always said Hunan province and I was right!)
4) do you have anything special put aside for that first meeting (toy or blankie?)
5) what outfit have you chosen already that you can't wait to see her dressed in?
6) how is her bedroom coming along?
Take care and thanks for the lovely comments about my Angel Face :)
