Passing the Wait Time

I know it was the hardest part of adoption for me.  After dealing for way too long with IF, I was ready to be a mom immediately:)  I always give my couples who are adopting a copy of this link, so I thought I'd share it here, too.  I know not everything will work for everyone, but for me, starting the lifebook and creating the nursery were the best projects.  The nursery didn't make me feel sad like it had in the past; it made me hopeful and excited for the baby I knew would come some day.  Sounds corny, but it's true. 

Hope it helps even a little:)
