How to cope in the 13th month of your adoption...

When the going gets tough...when you've been waiting for over a year for your daughter to come home...when your last visit trip feels like a distant memory...when you have no stinkin idea when her birth certificate is coming in so she can come home...you fall to your knees and pray. This is of course, the most important first step! Then...you eat kettle chips and peanut M & Ms like there's no tomorrow with the promise to yourself that when she's home, you two will play so hard...you'll be a size 6 again...just like high school...
