No News, Yet...

School started again today, and one of the first questions I was asked by a colleague was if anything new had happened with the adoption. I wish I could have told her yes, but so far I'm still waiting to begin the paperchase. I think it will be very soon though based on what my coordinator told me a few weeks ago.

I have joined a yahoo group of single gals who are or who have adopted from China. It's great to read their posts and to know that there are so many other women out there on similar journeys.

Last week my masters program began, and I am overwhelmed by the amount of work this first class requires. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," has become my mantra. I haven't been a student in nine years, and my anxiety level is high. The outcome of completing the program however, is that my pay will increase and I'll be better able to afford motherhood. So, it's worth it in the end.
