As we almost reach our yearly mark of being on the list I have been thinking about the first time we put our name on the list. For some reason I thought the second time around would be easier. I was wrong. The paperwork, photo album, and letter were all easier. Now there are new things and emotions that make it harder. How will our relationship be with the birth family. Will things be wonderful like with Maggie's birthmom Kelsey? The waiting has been easier as we have been so busy with Maggie that we don't worry about it all the time as we did before. However, when Maggie asks us almost everyday where her brother and sister are and then hearing her pray at night to help us find them, this is harder. It was easier when it was just the two of us that would be disappointed if things didn't work out. Now there are three of us. However, we can't wait for the day when she gets to meet her brother or sister for the first time and gets to touch their face and hands. That will be a very precious moment for all of us. So I guess it isn't easier or harder, just different. I guess that is why it is called a journey. Our second journey began September 2008.
