My advisor, Sara, also dropped a bombshell today. For a few minutes I thought I would be shucking the idea of adopting from Kazakhstan. Yes I am serious! She asked me what I felt about a 5 year old. I first thought, "UGH." She further explained that they just aren't getting children under four years. I said that I did not want an older child. So she looked at her notes and they still said that I wanted a girl between 18 months and 2 1/2 years. I told her that everyone had explained that I couldn't designate and needed to say I would take up to 4. So she said, "You are willing to take a boy." I said, "Whatever is meant to be will happen, so yes I will take a one year old boy over a 5 year old girl." She said, "Then you will get a boy."
So there you go, it looks like I will be getting a boy. That is if I can ever get this thing done.
The other thing that we discussed is that I will not be traveling until the fall. I thought it would happen before that, but what do I know.
