It was a lot of fun writing about our first adoption experience, since it brought up so many things I had forgotten. I have to say, it wasn’t an easy process, but it really wasn’t that bad. I’m hoping it’ll be that way again. In fact, I’m really very nervous about it. I’m so afraid we are going to come home empty-handed and defeated. I mean, I know we’ll get a second appointment down the road, but it’ll still be pretty devastating if we do come home without a child.

We finally bought our plane tickets last Friday and I swear it’s more expensive for the three of us to fly to Kiev and back than it was for Pa and I to fly to Australia for our honeymoon in 1999. It’s not that Kiev is a hot destination, it’s that the airlines are charging up to $160 for fuel, per passenger, on top of their sky-high (pardon the pun) summer fares. If we weren’t going to adopt, I’d skip any kind of vacation requiring air travel this year. As it is, Pa and I rarely drive any more, given that gasoline is predicted to be $5 per gallon by the 4th of July!
