"Can't Even Imagine"

The time is just going so quickly, but as of last week it seems that time just stood still. We received news that there maybe a problem with our referral. A problem that's what I said. You would think by now that we would be preparing to travel as we were told back in June, but now the journey may come to a screeching halt. Adopting is such a wonderful, amazing experience, but the trials and heartache grow greater each day. I pray that the problems that have came up can be resolved and that we can continue our journey. I know others have had road blocks, but perseverance and faith has brought them through. I hope to hear good news and that the "child's origin" can soon be resolved. I am really disheartened that this might prevent her from being able to be united into a loving family that has waited a long time to have her in our home. I can't even imagine thinking past the part of resolution of this road block and hope and pray this can quickly be resolved.

"Nothing, Notta, .........."

Well it has been a while since I have written anything. I have been in that adoption slump. You know when you try to find out information, and all you ever hear is it just takes time. Well it has been about 4 1/2 months no updates, no pictures, no reassurance, nothing. This is probably a whining post, but I am with most of the other families waiting and feel a bit impatient. About a month ago I was told they would try to get updated pictures so that would make it a little easier, but still nothing. I am thankful that I am waiting for our baby, but I also would like to get news that we can file our I-600. I am still waiting to do that after 3 months of receiving the approval. Whats the hold up?

Well enough of my venting. I have had a lot going on too. Lost my Gram on Tuesday, went to PA for funeral, tough stuff for our family, a lot of tears and joy all at the same time. Difficult to think about having my birthday this year and no one to share that day with. I was born on her birthday, she be having a big party where she is at.

Well on a happy note. I can't wait for Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It is quickly sneaking up on us. I hope to have the baby to share it with. Wishing and Hoping....Till the next time
