After so much waiting, getting the picture of your child is such a surreal experience. Matter of fact, everything about the following weeks is surreal. You’ve spent months communicating with other people about their experience….about sending care packages, booking flights, searching for her finding ad, getting ready………and then its YOU doing all these things, and the words that keep running through my brain are “I can believe this is happening!” I keep getting overrun by these gigantic goose bumps. The ones that start on your back, slide up and over your scalp and then cruise down both arms. And sometimes……if I’m all by myself……….I let out a little squeal! My joy hasn’t been the tidal wave that I expected, but more like sporadic surges of heart pounding, giddy, realization………like whoa! This is real! A million tiny moments, a million little thrills, coming in response to the most mundane things: picking out a toy for her care package, buying the first jar of baby food (vanilla custard), using her Aveeno baby body wash in the shower, sleeping with her blankie, counting out that she’ll be 16 months at Christmas! Imagining what we’ll do on a lazy summer day…………..

It is a surreal feeling. I'll tell you this...if you this stoked over the referral, and we all are/were, I promise you can't imagine the first time you hold her.
Yippee!!!!
