Six-Flags has Nothing on Adoption

Our social worker left a voice mail yesterday that another family had been chosen for the 2 babies. She was gracious, and thanked us for thinking though the possibility of doing the sibling "thing". As I listened to her talk I felt a little relieved; two babies and three young children is a lot to parent - especially if you throw in homeschooling. I also felt sad; these are two I'll never get to meet, let alone love. Mostly, I felt exhausted. Adoption has put me on an emotional roller-coaster - the "what-ifs" and the waiting are taxing in a way I can't describe. Anyway, it is my firm belief that the spinning, whirling, world of adoption blows Six Flags out of the water if you compare the number of tips and turns each has to offer.
