Our time is Short

I got word today that we are moving along in the case...3 parent visits (these are all day visits) are changing to 4. I know this is a good thing...I can see that. I love Little Edward! He is so full of smiles and giggles and is really showing his personality these days.
HE IS SO FUN!!!
I knew when I said yes to this case it was highly unlikely that we would be adopting him. And I have loved watching people make changes in their lives for the better. I am glad I have been part of this process!
All of these positive things make me happy but I can't deny how weak I am...I am going to miss this baby.
My heart feels sad as we gear up to say goodbye.
I hope someday I will get to share a few pictures of him with you...he is a handsome little fella!
