Merry Christmas

Ah, the Christmas blog post. Two years ago I hoped that by last year we’d have been approved and maybe matched (we weren’t). Last year I assumed we’d have been approved in February (in the end it took another two months) and hopefully matched by the end of the year (you know how that’s turned out). So this year I really don’t want to get my hopes up again, but at the same time this Christmas is different because we’re not wondering about an abstract child: we’re hoping to be matched with boy H and I can’t help myself from wondering what he’s doing today and hoping that next year he’ll be with us. It’s not healthy, I know. Just let me have my moment and normal service will resume soon.

Happy Christmas.
