Dossier Submitted

I made the drive up to Austin on Friday to have all of our documents apostilled and then went by FedEx with Christian in the afternoon to mail it all off to AAI.

Later that evening when we were all playing together after dinner and Christian was being his adorable little self that he is when he's happy, fed and with his family, I started to feel so sad thinking about it, and how it won't just be the three of us anymore when the second adoption goes through, which I am told could be a long wait. The thought of Christian not being my little baby anymore made me so sad. I know it will be wonderful to have another little one in the house, but it will definitely be a new dynamic.

I have to admit, that I also felt sorry thinking about our second child because I know he or she won't get as much of the one on one that Christian had, although we are more seasoned as parents now and won't sweat the small stuff as much, I hope, the second time around. So much to think about, and a long time to think about it, and get used to the idea.
