As a family goes through the process of adoption, much of their thoughts and energy is put into the adoption. Even during the periods when you are merely waiting for paperwork to be filed and finished you can find yourself easily caught up in all things adoption. However, life does and will continue. Just this past weekend life continued here as we are celebrating our daughter's 13 birthday. Officially her birthday isn't for another couple of weeks but for her birthday she wanted to go to a horse show that was happening this past weekend in Virginia. So, her, her mother, and a friend enjoyed a weekend away.
Now today we met with our social worker for our final meeting. We were scheduled to do this earlier but the social worker got sick. Unfortunately, this meant more than just having to wait another couple of weeks it also meant that we had to switch from meeting at an Ethiopian restaurant in Raleigh to meeting at a Cracker Barrel in Salisbury. Never the less, we had a good meeting and a good meal.
Now we are one more step closer and yet have many more steps to go. So, life goes on...
