Our adoption agency usually has their BIG meeting on Monday nights to discuss all the upcoming referrals. I've been dying to call them and get an update. Are there, finally, toddler referrals ? I'm trying not to call them, because all they tell me is: We're Optimistically Hopeful. What does that mean? I know our daughter is out there. And yes, I know I'm supposed to be patient but I'd just love to know, yes she does exist, she's living in province XYZ and if I'm just patient a little bit longer... I'll know who she is.
I must admit I'm 100% clueless as to what an infant or toddler will need or want. Bottles? Diapers? slings v. wraps. Baby strollers? Jeff has already declared he will not use a baby sling. but i think they are pretty cool. besides from what I've read about adoption, it's extremely important to have your child as close to you at all times as possible. She needs to learn what it is to have a mommy and a daddy. She needs to feel this is where she belongs. okay, getting ahead of myself AGAIN. back to the bottles and diapers and things like that. to all my mommy friends i will be calling you and asking for help. a step by step guide to what to do and when to do it would be very nice, thank you. Honestly, I'm totally and completely clueless and I'm just hoping this maternal instinct thing will suddenly jump into action.
