my family, my journey: an adoption baby book
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 
As I mentioned yesterday, we are knee-deep in our first adoption. I actually began this blog as a "distraction" from the looong adoption process. And I had though that the nine months of pregnancy were never-ending. Adoption had miraculously transformed my perspective on that! We are about a year in to what may be nearly a three year process.
Well, truth be told - I got a call yesterday from our agency and they said we were on schedule to receive our child sometime between a year from this September to December. We keep telling everyone that it will be two years yet, but months keep passing by and we really can no longer say "two years out". Still - it's difficult for me to utter the reality. I can't admit getting nearer. I refuse to let my heart engage in that way. I have heard too many awful stories...
And yet, I find my self inching closer to that place. I'm considering going ahead and buying our baby's keepsake book. I've chosen this one shown here by artist Susie Ghahremani. I so love the illustrations & the feel of it and of course, that the contents are specifically geared to adoption stories.
If you know someone in the adoption process, this could make the perfect gift. A place to allow them to inch closer to their baby in their hearts before its home in their arms.
You can find them here.
