Merry Christmas Everyone!!
I know I disappeared on you for a while, I was here, just really didn't feel like posting. This adoption has been a crazy emotional ride. There have been more than one bill in the parliament that has threatened to close down adoptions in the country we are adopting from. Rumors, highs, lows, just craziness. I really don't know what to tell people when they ask how our adoption is going. Because at any given moment I don't really know. At this point in time it's looking a little more postive, that could change any minute, the life of international adoption. I was definitely shielding myself emotionally. So, for the past month and a half I've just been enjoying my kiddos, hubby, and getting ready for Christmas.
Once the holidays, are over, I need to either mail or take several documents to Atlanta to apostilled, then mail them to our country facilitators. These are the docs that will be more than 3 months old at the beginning of February when they hope to submit us.
But really, we are doing great here. We got to visit some close friends and family for Thanksgiving and we are enjoying a great laid back Christmas at home with the kids.
I'm going to be be doing some advocating/informational posts on different types of special needs adoption.
If I have this mode of communication I might as well use it! So if your not one of my adoption world friends (man I love those ladies) Then check back next week. Even if you are not interested in adopting, maybe someone you know is, or maybe there are other ways you can help, or just come to learn.
Hi Cara! Sorry I haven't been around for awhile . . . I lost my whole blog roll and have slowly been building it back up.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on deciding to adopt again - it sounds like there have been some tough times with control out of your hands and into beaurocrats' instead, but hopefully everything will work out, and Soon!
