Don't you think that this whole adoption process is sort of like running hurdles? You gear up to jump one and then they add another to the race that is just a tiny bit higher than the last, making the finish line just out of view and your endurance depleted. That's where we come in...the sidelines cheerleaders! We see that all it takes is one more burst of energy to burst through that finish line tape! You are SO there. Hang on...the victory will be so sweet!!
