Patience

I may have mentioned that there was someone I new from the exchange thing
who wants to adopt

she did a quickie class
and boasted that her homestudy (for her entire family) was "easy"

she just send me a message on FB

she wanted to know if I was licensed yet
because they're not yet

and she's

lol -- impatient

I tried to console her
not to worry
I've been in the process longer

but that you have to be patient
particularly since they're being so particular
they want a baby
no older than 12 months
white
female

she responded

oh -- don't worry I am (patient)
I just want to have a baby girl by August.
