Goodbye August - HELLO SEPTEMBER

I have never been more ready for a new month to begin!!!! August was great, but I am anxiously counting down the months until we are told it is our turn to get Brenden!! We still have not heard anything from the agency, but it has only been 1 month and 3 days since we got our referral (to be exact)! I am not expecting to hear anything this month either - so I have made sure that I am scheduled to the max every weekend. The faster time seems to go -the better!!!!

This weekend has been fun - we are trying to hang out with friends and do things we know we won't be able to do once we get Brenden. I must say, however, that no matter how much fun I am having I still feel a little empty inside. I miss my child even though I have yet to meet him! I can't wait for him to come home and meet everyone here who is anxiously waiting and praying for him!

I am starting to read up on the whole "attachment process". Seems very interesting and a little scary! I am not sure where to begin with it. Brenden tured 9 months old last week and will probably be 11 months or so when we get him. If you adopted a child around that age - how did you handle bonding? I know every child is different, but the fact that the director told our agency that he is one of the favorites makes me think he is getting lots of attention and already forming bonds.

I hope that everyone has a great week and that great news will abound!!!
