the watched pot

I think those old wives were on to something when they determined that a watched pot never boils.

Seriously, no word yet.

Nada.

Zilch.

And, evidently, checking my inbox 2,984 times yesterday did not make our TA arrive.

My sweet friends Diana and Nicole did get their TAs yesterday.

Still optimistic that we might hear something today. It would be like a cherry on the top to hang out with those two and their sweet babies in China.

    Oh, this was just the reminder I needed to read today. We are waiting for our travel call to pick up our son from Korea, and I have been clicking my email countless times a day. Maybe I should get out of the house for a while and try to forget about it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Praying your TA comes ASAP! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Praying you hear soon. It does seem like they come in groups…so I bet you’ll get yours soon. But, I do think checking e-mails 2,984 times helps. ๐Ÿ™‚

    aahhh…I can completely relate. We’re waiting for some big news from India today, but nothing yet. I’ll be praying for your news soon.

    I can’t even imagine how anxious you are. We are waiting on PA for our little one–I know the end result will be worth it. This is our first adoption (and first girl) and we are so in love with her already! How about telling us where all your travel tips are on your blog (I know I’ve seen some before)–I know we have 4-5 months ahead of us–but it’s probably wise for us to start thinking in that direction. Would love to hear what typs of bag/baby bag, etc. has worked for you. Thanks and look forward to following your journey!

      I’ve added them just for you, Teresa…. they are now linked in the sidebar near the bottom. Actually, I’d been meaning to, but well… it hasn’t been at the top of my to-do list. Thanks for the reminder ๐Ÿ™‚
