Could use good vibes — waiting on big news

[Anonymous]

Currently feeling completely unmoored and could use some good vibes.

We’re waiting on big news from our adoption agency. We were told to expect a call and we are still waiting. Of course we let ourselves get excited when we heard to expect something, and now that it’s radio silence, my mind is spiraling. I keep replaying every word from last week and bracing for the worst. The waiting is honestly torturous.

On top of worrying about what the news might be, we’re also stuck in limbo logistically, if it’s good news, we may need to travel quickly. That means rearranging work trips, figuring out plans, etc. I feel like my brain has a million tabs open and none of them will close.

Part vent, part request for good thoughts. And if anyone has tips for staying grounded during high-stakes waiting, I’m all ears. Really hoping today is the day and that it’s good news.

I wish I had tips, for I am unmoored in situations like this. I do try to remind myself that the decision has been made and any stress on my part won't change it. And I try to distract myself. But, I still find being in limbo to be incredibly stressful.

Sending good vibes your way, OP! Waiting for news is always so hard, I find that journaling helps to keep me grounded. If I write out all the anxieties and crazy thoughts I can usually bring myself back down. Might also be a nice way to start documenting this journey for yourself and hopefully that baby in the future!
