We received some information about a possible referral on our adoption process that we are starting to follow up on, somewhat cautiously as it is slightly outside of our pre-defined range of comfort, but no so far that we want to pass. It still feels like a terribly distant possibility and that makes it hard to simultaneously prepare for change and disappointment at once.

It certainly all comes to a head very quickly when there’s a chance of a match and I begin to realize the significance of what we’ve all signed up for in a very different way. That said, I sure hope it works out for us…
