I remember crying and melting down talking to my husband in one of those smokey rooms-and I wasn't even adopting!<br /><br /><br />Guangzhou is MUCH BETTER.Lori @ Five of My Ownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073176721280820516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401963927522338337.post-34243703348545493422012-03-22T05:17:11.202-07:002012-03-22T05:17:11.202-07:00oh, Dardi, I'm so sorry! it's truly overw...oh, Dardi, I'm so sorry! it's truly overwhelming. Remember, dear friend, China doesn't last forever :) this is transition. transition is good! especially the transition and transformation Jesus makes in our hearts! you CAN do this, sweet friend, because you know where your strength comes from and because you are a rockin' mama!!!!Connie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105757409356865785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401963927522338337.post-24230635724825821412012-03-21T14:11:28.720-07:002012-03-21T14:11:28.720-07:00I've been following your blog for awhile and a...I've been following your blog for awhile and agree you are very strong!<br />I totally understand how you feel and clearly remember our first trip to China. It was awful! There were several times that if looks could kill...well, you know what I mean.I vowed I would NEVER go back. But we did...a year and a half later. Our second experience was much better and I'd be ready to go back tomorrow...at least if it meant adding to our family!<br />I've heard it said that when you adopt a child you also adopt their country and believe it or not it is true...or will be someday. Praying for you...for sanity, patience and that the days will pass quickly!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184793321130013856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401963927522338337.post-51034781955963688982012-03-21T11:45:49.186-07:002012-03-21T11:45:49.186-07:00Oh Sweet Dardi~ I couldn't help but chuckle a...Oh Sweet Dardi~ I couldn't help but chuckle as I read this post...and not the kind of chuckle that negates what you are going through, BUT I chuckled because I could have written this EXACT post 4 months ago while in China! And now I MISS China! I really do. But, while I was there and with the stress of not having my hubby and a the responsibility of a new child, and the unfamiliar language, faces, smells...and the truly AWFUL traffic...I couldn't wait to hightail it outta there for the good ol' USA!! I remember getting off the plane back here in the States and swearing I would NEVER go back there! Haha...and now...well...I'm sorta missing it...I think it's like labor...you swear you will NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...but then the bad memories fade and you have this beautiful new treasure...and well...you get the point. You are doing an amazing job! Keep it up!!! I will be praying for you!!!<br />~JamiJamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752582014757591060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401963927522338337.post-57732816551712761172012-03-21T08:03:54.911-07:002012-03-21T08:03:54.911-07:00Oh, friend...I appreciate your honesty and feel yo...Oh, friend...I appreciate your honesty and feel your pain.
