Updating and everything in between

Well, here we are in November, I just can't believe the time flies by so fast.  Our paperwork is still somewhere in the sea of Kazakhstan.  I am beginning to think that someone spilled coffee on it and just threw it away, but then I read others blogs who were registered at the MFA around the same time and their paperwork hasn't moved either.  I realize that right now I could blame my agency, but that wouldn't really be fair since the paperwork is out of their hands, I could get frustrated at the process, but what good would that do me, I entered this process knowing that no matter how stable a process may be, it is ever changing in the world of international adoption.  Some days I don't want to read other blogs because I just don't think that I can bear to hear that they have a region assignment or that they are going to meet their child, but then I read them anyway and think someday that will be Jeff and I!  Ours prayers are fervent as we pour out our longing to have our child in our home.  There is a plan, THERE IS A PLAN!  Things will come together and when they do we will have a better, deeper understanding of this journey that we are on and we will be better equipped to face challenges in the future.  Things are bright and there is a light at the end of the tunnel, there are just a few curves to go through that are blocking the end.

"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."  Lamentations 3:25-26

You are still in our prayers. Although we are not with the Children's Hope Kaz program any more we still follow along. We are hoping the little special needs guy we were hoping to adopt finds a loving home. I know the right child for you will come your way. Hang in there. Jacqueline Gray

Yeeeeeaaaahhh! Hey! I'm in Denver! I have a hard time breathing! I almost blacked out yesterday! Now, I'm sitting, drinking coffee with Cary and reading your blog. Stay Posi! A friend of mine who is going to be a teacher got that tattooed on her wrist. Dumb. When you get your kid from Kaz, don't let them tattoo stuff like that on their wrist. Rock on!

Hi Michelle......any news for you? Still nothing on my dossier. I did update my Petition to adopt and am in the process of doing an addendum to my dossier saying no gender preference....getting impatient! I feel the same as you...i just read on someone's blog that they just got to the MFA and are expecting to move in one month increments?!! What?? Maybe they will be the lucky one,huh? So hard to stay positive....keep it up!

Happy Holidays!
