These overalls have been hanging on our bedroom door for about 2 1/2 years now (as many of you have seen). They were the first piece of clothing we purchased when we decided to adopt and were fairly certain we would be adopting a boy - this was back when we were still thinking we would be adopting from Bulgaria.
We hung these on our bedroom door so that we could see them and help remind us as we were struggling through paperwork, approvals, waits, etc., that what was really waiting at the end of this process was a child.
So last night we took the overalls down and folded them up (they will likely be too small for Maddux) since we are leaving in 4 days!!!!!!
Can you believe that we first requested information for Bulgaria from that adoption agency on March 31, 2008 - 1041 days ago! Seems like a long time, and it has definintely seemed long while we waited. But, we are so glad to be near travel and on our way to Maddux in a few days!
I can't wait to see that sweet boy in your arms!!!
