T: We'll be going from 0 kids to 2 kids... that's amazing!
Me: Yes, it is... but it's not a big enough change for me.
T: How about I get my Ph.D. and a new job right before the kids come to the United States?
Me: OK, that's better, but still not a big enough change. What else you got?
T: How about the new job is in Philadelphia? And we move 10 days after the kids get to the U.S.?
Me: Now you're talking!
Oh, geez. I'll be thinking of you guys! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Philly! We have a great transracial adoptive family group with some kiddos from Ethiopia. We'd be happy to welcome you in!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great! Please email me at yiothetisi@yahoo.com with more details!
DeleteThanks!

We would love to join you...one day. Still working on paperwork to adopt from Ethiopia but live near Philly. Love your blog!
DeleteOy. That is a lot! Hang in there momma. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, that is a lot! Best wishes with the move!!
ReplyDeleteYou are moving to Philly?? I'm only about 2 hours west of Philly. I get out to that area every now and then! Perhaps we can meet up one day!
ReplyDeleteShannon, I'd love to get together sometime. Where do you live?
DeleteCrazy, crazy, crazy! But I guess you do what you have to do, right? Good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Congrats on doing everything all in 2 weeks time :)
ReplyDeletePretend you are doing it for the sake of the kids. Moving to a place where you don't know anyone means you can focus on attachment. That is what I tried to tell myself.
ReplyDeleteI left to go to Ethiopia to pick up Little Dude from our home in Oregon... I returned from Ethiopia with Little Dude to our new home in Missouri - where I did not know a soul.
Breathe deep - it all works out in the end.
