More "Retail Therapy" ... for the wife! I swear! |
And it got me thinking... what IS the true UN-Spoken cost of adoption?
So I did a quick search in my blog for some of the things these women were trying though Retail Therapy in an effort to struggle through the pain of the 100+ day wait...
Well, we DID get a New Kitchen for the PREVIOUS adoption... ;-)

And we also go new appliances:

And new furniture:

Oh sod it all! THAT is why adoption is so darned expensive!
Oh, and to any who are following my plight in trying to acquire a stereo for the past 15 or so years, there is now a new stereo in the house:

Adrian, you're too funny!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and the other "Z" families today!
ReplyDeleteThe Touchpad purchase isn't really an un-spoken cost. It's a necessity for posting to this blog - so it's PART of the adoption! (did that help Ade?) :)
ReplyDeleteSo Adrian,
ReplyDeleteIs Roberta taking the HP TouchPad to China so she can keep up all updated on her trip :)

Hilarious and it's all true, lol! I've got the entire list and making some up as we go. Blueberry Truffles from LL Bean this summer. Chocolate makes the wait go faster!
