I'm Soooo Discouraged!

I contacted my adoption worker today. I just want to say that she and all the ladies that work with her have been great! They have been so easy to work with and answer any and all questions we have in a very timely manner. I have not been anxious about anything that THEY are in control of, only once it gets to the various government offices! In any case, I wrote and asked her, since our 60 days is up on Saturday, if she'd heard anything about when we will travel. This is part of the response she gave me:

"I am in Vn now and was at the Embassy yesterday. Since it is the 60 day mark(although they say 60 working days) I asked if they could check. The woman checked and said that the file was still in HCMC but that she would call and remind them that this is a sn case. I reminded her of the details and she said she sees no problem with the case so hopefully once it gets to Hanoi they will send you the approval quickly."

I am trying not to cry, but am feeling very discouraged, so think I'll cry any way. It's sooo frustrating, waiting on people who don't seem to care one way or the other. My little daughter is waiting for us, even if she doesn't know it, and WE are waiting for her! I do not want to travel around Christmas time, I don't want to be away from my family and it will be a horrible time to travel, ugh! BUT, that said, I will be more than happy to go get my girl, no matter when it is! I was/am hoping it will be this month, but who knows.

I know I'm not the only one who goes through this, we ALL do to some degree or the other, but I'm going through it right now and am so sad. I had prayed to have her home last Christmas, then for Easter, then for summer, then for her birthday, now for Thanksgiving. I know it is all in God's perfect timing, I KNOW that, but my heart is heavy right now, missing my little girl.

June,

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you received such discouraging news... I KNOW that Anah will be home in alignment with God's perfect timing, but I also KNOW how hard it is to wait and wait and wait!

It's like being perpetually 8.5 months pregnant-- you are so longing for this stage of the adoption "pregancy" to end so you can actually hold your baby...

Hang in there, Tesha
