Just thought I would point out, for those who are interested, that I am putting up my Christmas tree right now for the first time in 5 years that I am not waiting for a child to come home.
Not saying this as "woe as me -- look what I've been through". Not at all. There are a lot more woes out there than mine. But it just seems interesting to point out that not long ago, we were in our Russia saga of life. And this year, I have a grateful heart and a different kind of joy now that my boys are home.
But then again, for those of you who are die-hard adoption fans, don't we always feel like there is one more child out there who we are waiting for?? :) :)

I understand what you are going through....and, yes I still think about a future child/children overseas.
I remember reading someone's post (maybe Vickie in AK) about making sure we are adopting for the right reason - the child - not the adoption journey. As painful as the wait is, there is an excitement in the whole process. That post really made me think and pray. And I am still confident God will be leading us somewhere else in a year or two. But for right now, I'll try to sit back and enjoy my three.
