Still waiting for news

Today marks day 33 since we’ve been logged in at the CCAA. Lately TAs for the special needs program have been coming really quickly, some as soon as 45-65 days post LID. I don’t know if that trend will hold true for us, but a girl can hope, right? I find myself starting to really believe she’s coming home soon and I start to get butterflies in my stomach. Will she like me? Will she grieve terribly? Will there be anything I can do to comfort her? I have tried to get ready by reading a lot about toddler adoption, but reading can only prepare you to a certain extent, reality can be a long way off from words on a page. We haven’t received any updates or recent pictures of our girl, much to my dismay. My agency has offered to send a list of questions to the SWI so that they will hopefully be answered and returned to us on adoption day. I tried to ask questions that would help with her transition like, “When she’s upset, what comforts her?” I am hoping that the answers give me enough insight into her personality to help us get through the first few days together.
Here are some pics I took from our trip to the park yesterday. Isabelle’s favorite is still the swing
