So here it is in the comment section. Do you have a best friend? If you don't, I am available. I stumbled onto your blog (I am in the research phase of starting an Ethiopian Adoption and am blog obsessed.) Your first post really hit me. Although I haven't lived the infertility nightmare, I just know the feeling you were describing so well. So now I am reading the blog from the beginning and actually laughing out loud (can't bring myself to type lol - hate people who type lol - are they really lol? I doubt it.) I also loved TINMWY and find the Ethiopian Adoption Yahoo group to be CRAZY.<br />I am 41, live in Oregon and have a bio-baby - these three things might make it a bit odd for us to become bffs. I guess for now I will just be a lurker.<br />Good luck on your journey. I know I will enjoy reading about it.<br />KerryKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670020044450608740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-67086124011780407782009-04-15T19:51:00.000+01:002009-04-15T19:51:00.000+01:00C.

I appreciate the ways you are choosing to live and the truth you are embracing. You are a brave heart! I am sorry also for the grief and brokenness of these past years for you. I am trusting God with you that the grief and pain we and others have lived will result in more faith and love in our hearts. May he turn the deserts into gardens in our lives!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101086842001350040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-3931303383591992462009-04-14T14:57:00.000+01:002009-04-14T14:57:00.000+01:00Friendships are like sine waves, I think.

And sometimes your waves are sync'd with your friends' and sometimes they are not, but sooner or later you will match back up again, if you truly care for one another. <br /><br />Also -- you will never smell of poo. You always smell lovely.StyleSpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032983147859861793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-66703844788289206892009-04-14T12:25:00.000+01:002009-04-14T12:25:00.000+01:00Well said.

I don't think anyone outside of the "waiting" experience can connect to the depth of frustration and isolation we get to experience. I do think it makes it all sweeter in the end though.The Ravenstahlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063484555799952462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-81252443661317805582009-04-14T10:39:00.000+01:002009-04-14T10:39:00.000+01:00I'm so happy you're taking such positive steps, es...I'm so happy you're taking such positive steps, esp when it's such a hard thing to do :) Hooray for you!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104524922038629718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-80392192290606084142009-04-14T03:53:00.000+01:002009-04-14T03:53:00.000+01:00Great, great post, my friend. You said it all so ...Great, great post, my friend. You said it all so well and I'm sorry it is so hard. <br /><br />That friendship thing is a delicate balance - wanting to be a good friend and have good friends too when we are in such different places (and desperately wanting not to be). There are so many that I have distanced from too and I know those bridges will not be easy ones to mend. We do what we have to in the "now" to survive sometimes and when it hurts that much you can't ask anymore of yourself...<br /><br />I wish you strength and peace on your journey to mending. I do love that part of the drive is in the name of your child......a wonderful mother you are already.<br /><br />Hugs.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-23360397004248255852009-04-13T18:18:00.000+01:002009-04-13T18:18:00.000+01:00Claudia, you really article feelings better than a...Claudia, you really article feelings better than anyone! I mean, I really understand some things when I read your blog. And further, I am sorry for the grief and pain you've gone through. <BR/><BR/>I think we all have expectations of other people that hinder communication, I've definitely fallen into that trap. It's really cool that you can recognize what is happening, b/c it's really hard to do that.<BR/><BR/>Cindylos cazadoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047753608490707714noreply@blogger.com
