Fun day

Today we went to an afternoon potluck at the home of an adoptive family. They have the cutest twin boys Vanh and Max! I think they will be great friends of Van in the near future :) It was nice to hang out with a group from the adoption community. Other than us there was another post-referral waiting mom (who is already becoming a fast friend) and a single mom who is waiting for a referral. There were a few others there as well but the paps gathered in the living room to coo at the twins (and another adorable little girl) and discuss the trials and tribulations of the endless wait. I look forward to the day that we can all gather as parents and talk about the trials and tribulations of parenthood, which seems much more fulfilling somehow. It has been very reassuring to meet such great people in the adoption community. It is such a supportive network. I am very grateful that all these wonderful people will be a part of Van's life! An extra special thanks goes to Samantha and Woody for hosting the event and to Vanh and Max for the xmas present for Van that will be put under the tree :)
