Until next month

February has been a blur for reasons not related to the adoption, so it’s probably for the best that the support group was postponed until March.  So until then…

Busy doin’ nothing (also, January ’10 group time)

And so we have entered the adoption equivalent of the March sports season.  All the paperwork is done, we had our first close shave, and now we get to sit and…wait.  We had our January group session a few weeks ago, but nothing of major import was discussed.  We’re still tied for last place (yeah [...]
