It sort of feels as if the process is stagnate. As in, NOT MOVING forward. Its so sad to me. Across the world there is a child, MY child...and I don't feel any closer today than I did yesterday to bringing her home. We're waiting for our region person to be back from vacation, which is supposed to be Sept. 10th. So no traveling until at least the end of Sept. for us. One month more lost!
There were five smiling faces lined up along our fireplace this morning. There should have been six. There were five backpaks loaded with crayons and protractors. There should have been six.
I used to struggle with the financial aspect of this adoption so much that I could generate huge amounts of anxiety over it. Can we do this? Is it right? Well, its sort of testament to me that she really is mine because the difficulty of this process, and the criticism we've heard(and that which people offer behind our backs) has only solidified my resolve that we are doing what is right. She belongs here. And the fact that it is months away still makes me sad today. Why must it take so long to provide a family for a child? Its got me today.
