It is very thoughtful and smart. It is proactive and allows you to respond verses react, like in the scenario of getting swallowed up by something really big and stressful. Which, is an easy thing to do, to get lost in that something big. It takes growth to realize it. It takes more growth and effort to stop that kind of pattern from happening again. I think how you all are moving forward in the adoption process shows your healing from IVF and infertility. Yes, there are still hurts and pains, but you seem to be in a much better, more positive, balanced place to feel more successful in how you are coping with adoption. Great quote, too!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-30858745011872626402016-01-27T18:19:55.995-08:002016-01-27T18:19:55.995-08:00I think the comparison to the 2ww, the pregnancy a...I think the comparison to the 2ww, the pregnancy and the birth is very appropriate, especially when considering how you react, and how you decide who and when and what to tell. I didn't tell anyone with my first (ectopic) pregnancy, but my second (also ectopic) pregnancy I did, even before the three months, because I wanted it to be acknowledged. (And I couldn't imagine being able to hold it in for three months! Not that I had the chance, but that's water under the bridge now.) So I had to smile at your description of you and Bryce, and who can keep a secret! I can relate!Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-74817162418760405192016-01-25T18:27:49.626-08:002016-01-25T18:27:49.626-08:00That sounds like a very reasonable way/time to sha...That sounds like a very reasonable way/time to share information - makes a lot of sense. The attitude about life being essentially un-wrangleable is a great one. Thank you for also defining the various adoption timeline terms - it's nice to be able to understand the process a little better.<br /><br />And I'll echo Cristy - hoping for good news for y'all soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-42589580926844251012016-01-24T18:47:16.460-08:002016-01-24T18:47:16.460-08:00Thank you!

And I completely agree with your reasoning.<br /><br />Most importantly is your attitude for approaching all of this. It's way too easy to put your life on hold waiting for the next steps, so I commend you for choosing to live and mindfully having a plan of attack. <br /><br />And I'm hoping for you and Bryce for some good news very soon.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.com
