... unfortunately, we were not picked for either situation. instead, other deserving families were chosen by the birth mothers in arkansas and in colorado.
it's hard to make a connection with the birth mothers by reading a few pages about each of them... so the little bit of "excitement" that we're able to feel about these situations is by what positive we can gain out of the experience in the particular state in which we'd be in for 2 - 3 - 4 weeks in.
the arkansas situation would've been cool. it would've given us a chance to visit Fay Jones' Thorncrown Chapel (beautiful!). http://www.thorncrown.com/architecture.htm
the colorado situation would've been cool because we could visit denver (i used to work there some and i really loved that town) / my cousin lives there / i've always wanted to take todd and show him some things. (also... we have a girl's name picked out which is a city in colorado that I've always loved the name of... so I was hoping to visit that city b/c I've never been! maybe it's better that we not visit that city - what if I didn't like it?)
i'm bummed of course, but todd was able to keep me in check and remind me that it was not meant to be. "our" baby is still out there waiting for us.
i should run. we have a lot to do before we fly out tomorrow morning.
good night. c
