"If our really important choices could be sampled like a box of chocolates, then our decisions would loose their meaning. What then would be at stake?"

Life is like a box of chocolates
It is starting to be that I see messages everywhere in relation to the adoption process. Or hear them? No I am not schizophrenic........ or are we? As a PAP you start to question every choice you have made in the adoption process. International versus domestic, one agency or another, which country, boy or girl? The biggest decision for some of us.....can I do this alone? I just heard on TV a conversation having to do with time travel....if you could, would you go back and make different choices? This was the answer given;

That's a really good point...I guess life is really just a series of choices, some more important than others. Remember those books where you could choose how to continue the story, and end up with a bunch of different endings? If life were like that, then would anything, including our decisions, even matter?
Lisa, I totally know what you are talking about. The last couple of months have been a struggle for my husband and I as well. I am sure that our choices were the rights ones. We will look back at these days later on in our life and see this as the beginning of the journey not the end.
Great point, Lisa! Our decisions are certainly ours alone and will ultimatley impact us differently than the same decision made by another individual. Someone once told me that if you sit in a movie theater with 100 other people, each of you will see a different version of the same movie, because you have a history that is unique to only you. I imagine that it is much the same with the adoption process!
We still question are choices sometimes - and we are home! Not that we would change anything, wejust reflect - like what if we had asked for a toddler to start with? Would we have met Ben?
I hope your process goes as quickly as possible - you never know :)
