Prayers for Invisible Friends

One of the amazing things in this process is the incredible connections we have made with other families adopting from India. From the start of this process, there is no way we could have handled the emotional roller coaster without being able to log on to our Yahoo group and ask questions or just talk about how we are feeling. We connected with families that were years past completing the process, those about to meet their little one or some just starting. I read their blogs and their timeline seemed so distant to me. But, now here we are waiting for word to travel. I continue to go back to those blogs as if they were a textbook for adopting from India. I'm fortunate to have formed relationships with a few moms that are around the same time line. Though we have never met, I feel very close with my invisible friends as we deal with the daily emotions waiting to bring our sons/daughters home. For those of you out there that read these posts and say a little prayer for Mark and I so we bring Nathaniel home soon, I ask that you also say a little prayer for the other families that are also waiting.
