Anxiously Awaiting
What we do to our poor children. Last week, Jaedon started to have hives. We thought that he must have eaten something because they were all over. Then on Friday, he called from school not feeling well (two doses of Benadryl could have been the culprit). I brought him home, and 5 minutes later, he was just fine. He had a stomach ache at a friend's house on Saturday - he came home, and 2 minutes later was fine. Monday - back to school, and sure enough, he called sick again. I brought him home and fed him lunch, and presto - totally fine. I finally asked him if he was worried about something...and it was if Zane was ever coming home...and why I always cried. I thought that I had been doing so well. So, we made a pact...no more tears, and no more worrying. I think that we can both fake it for awhile.

Oh, poor thing! I'm so sorry and you are so right about the kids feeling the stress as well. Erica is so frustrated by the process and the delays, but I think it is good for her as an adopted child to understand the amount of heart-work that goes into this. That saying is totally true, "you weren't born under my heart, but in it" because our heart ache so greatly for these children to be a part of our lives.
Blessings,

He sounds like a very senstive soul. I hope Jaedon feels better now and I hope you can get through with less tears. It's so hard when our children feel our stress. Good luck.
Wow, that's very sad and very sweet to read at the same time.
