Two Years?

We were told at our first meeting with our adoption worker that we may wait up to two years to be matched for adoption. Needless to say I am more than a little anxious. The thought of waiting two years to be matched is daunting, it is even longer than the 22 month pregnancy of an elephant. Various thoughts about the situation have been going through my mind and right now what is bothering me the most is change. So many people around me are changing, moving on from having children and being home. Just today I learned that one of my allies in the ever demanding world of Elementary school is going back to work in May. I have relied on her heavily to help my chauffeur children to and from school. I knew that she wasn't going to have anymore kids and I guess that I am just shocked that she is going back to work now. Obviously I am super happy for her, she got a job that fits perfectly into there lives, but this is about me. In fact none of my close friends will have children as young as ours (once we finally adopt). And if we do actually have to wait two years Marcus will be 12 and Noah will be 10 by then. Isn't it crazy to want to get back into toddlers and pre-schoolers. At that time Paul and I could start to enjoy different freedoms that we have had up until now. Am I going to want to still do this in two years? I hope so.
