You know you're adopting internationally when...

* You daily check your VISA application status online.
* You don't mind an early alarm clock blaring
because it means you can check your phone for any updates on your case.
* You have conference calls late at night with your agency director.
* You keep reading any and all paperwork you have about your 
child hoping to find something new about them each time.
* Your knees are wearing out from the hours of prayer time spent 
for your child and their friends who are also being adopted. 
* You stalk the mailman like it's your job.
* The guy at the PO knows you as "the crazy lady who runs 
in to mail something like her life depends on it."
* You forget about "real world" Facebook and only live on the adoption fb pages.
* You constantly think "I could adopt 2 more children for that price", etc.
* You live for update weeks when you get new pictures and info about your child.
* You feel like people you've never met become your 
best friends because you're walking this same crazy journey together.
* You are always dreaming about a child that you love so much but you've never met.
