Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:48:14 +0000 http://www.precious.org/blog/blog/the-things-i-never-knew/215#comment-419 I got a sense of peace and feeling of relief when I read your blog...much like the ones that I felt the other night when Chuck and I came over to talk to you and Jason about this whole process of adoption. I so much appreciate your "realness"; how you just lay it all out there, the good and the bad, and don't worry about what people might think. Even though Chuck and I haven't even started this process yet, I've already had many of the worries that you aluded to in your blog and it's so comforting to know that I won't be alone and that I won't be abnormal. Thank you so much for reaching out to us and being willing to help us feel more at ease about starting this journey. We will be praying for you as you travel to bring home your sweet baby boy! God Bless!!

Just do your best and remember that most other people have had to deal with an upset baby before too. This helps me with traveling with my older kids too.

But, not really the ones that I expected it to be hard for. That is weired. I guess I thought when we told them we wanted to adopt they would be happy. Instead the major focus was on all of the concerns and negative things they have heard about adoption. The more they are learning (those that are willing) the more support we feel. We are still paper pushing for our first adoption. My advise for plane is to give him a bottle whenever you are taking off or landing. Keep him sucking to help his ears pop. That should do it!
