Over the past several weeks, many people have asked about our adoption. The most frequent question is “what do you do during the wait?” That answer is easy — what we did before we decided to adopt. We go to work, go on vacation, read books, hang out with friends… you get the idea.
What no one “asks is what have you learned?” I have learned to be patient – very, very patient. I am ‘Type A’. I like things to be on schedule (well, my schedule) and fit into my plan. Many people have told me that I will have to change when the little person comes home. While I understand that (not sure how much I accept it), the adoption process has forced me to become patient. One life lesson down… hundreds of more to go.
