funny things

Now this this blog is private, you might find that I'll speak a little "free-er" than I normally do. ...and I just heard some of you say to yourselves "what possibly could she say that she hasn't already said"?

Who knows.

I just want to share a funny thing that people keep saying to me. I am sharing this especially for Debbie and Judy (because I know they've gotten this too).

Random Person: "Wow, there is some big reason this adoption has taken so long"

Me: "I know..."

Random Person: "Maybe you are supposed to start an adoption agency or help adoptive parents or something"

Me: (trying not to laugh uncontrollably) "Help my friends in Irkutsk, yes, but as a business - or something I deal with every day? Um, NO!"

No offense to all you PAPs or APs out there, but you have to admit, we can be a real emotional unreasonable bunch. The only thing worse that I can think of would be working with Brides...yikes! But PAPs are worse - there are more hormones involved.

I prefer to think that the big reason in all this is to save us or Anya from something - and whatever that thing is (or was), we might never know. Maybe someday I'll roll this story into one of the talks I do...which if funny - can't you just see my one-sheet:
