Vermont Life


We bought our home in West Newbury Vermont on July 14, 2010 - we are so blessed. We have a beautiful country home on 10.3 acres with a barn and a chicken shed (kind of) and views of the White Mountains. The day has a breeze, the weather is sunny and dry and the sky is blue with white fluffy clouds. We live on a dirt road that has maybe 5 cars a day pass by. I'm sitting in front of a wall of glass doors open with the breeze, watching the mountains and Liam hedge the weeds and grass around the stone wall of the barn. All we can hear are the crickets and the leaves blowing in the breeze. I love it here, it feeds my soul.

Still Nothing

Since we started this we've received 3 calls for potential matches but none of them fit our profile. We've been sent exactly the opposite of what our profile said. It really feels so empty out there. Like nothing is ever going to happen. I wonder if this is a normal feeling for waiting adoptive parents. I mean, maybe this too isn't our path??? I'm so confused because it just feels so much like nothing.... but feeling that is a feeling, I guess.
Will we ever adopt a healthy baby? Maybe we are too old for the regions we are signed up to adopt from.
Ugh this is so NOTHING!
