We are in a very prolonged adoption process. Can't tell you much about it because, well, there isn't much to tell yet. I will when there is and I can.
But Emma is apparently getting frustrated.
Yesterday she told Guy that there was a family that couldn't take care of their son and daughter and they are going to 'give them to us'. Apparently this is a boy and girl, both 6 years old and named Brandon and Leah.
And Emma said she has talked to them.

When I was three and my parents weren't producing me a sibling as quickly as I wanted, I invented a couple. Their names were Clark and Chloe. They were my imaginary friends for _years_ until my real siblings appeared on the scene.

It must be hard on her, the waiting.
Best wishes to the 3 of you as you work through it.

Yeah, it is hard on her. It's hard on us, so I _know_ it has to be frustrating to a 4 year old.
We talk to her about it, and explain to her the process... but well, for now she has 'the boys' (she calls her two twin-boy friends her brothers and they call her sister... and see each other every day...)
she still wants a brother and a sister.
(think she'll be disappointed in that though... 1 more is what we will be doing if/when we do)

Poor Emma, time moves so slowly when you're only 4. The best to all of you as you go forward in expanding your family. Maybe you should buy her a puppy to keep her occupied! (I'm kidding of course, a puppy is it's own special hell.)
