After the longest car ride of our lives, we arrived back at the adoption agency. The director met us outside and we handed Kate over. That was our last glimpse.
We went home. Our best friend came over with beer and ice cream! We decided that the only way to get our feet back on the ground was to get out of town. I spent the next few hours on the phone with Carnival. My direct quote is "I need to get on a cruise. I don't care where it goes but it must leave from the east coast and it must leave this weekend. And I don't want an inside room." There was one cruise that fit the bill, but it was an inside room.... "I'll take it." This was Thursday night, the cruise left on Saturday. Friday night we got a call that our room had been upgraded to a balcony room for no charge!
We went away. We spent time together. We saw the sights. We practiced breathing.
I figure we had 2 choices.... Choice 1- Curl up into a shell and give up. Choice 2 - Move on. That's really only one choice.
When we got back to real life we called the agency to make sure we were still on the list and ensure them we were still ready to give this a shot.
And the waiting began again!
