This blog was designed with several purposes in mind. First and foremost, to share with all of our family, friends, and others interested in our endeavors of adoption. It also is being used to promote the need to find homes for those children that have disabilities and don't have families. And finally, it is a vehicle for those interested in supporting through donations.

Just Breathe
Soooooo I made it to the post office to mail off our fingerprints so we can start that long process of waiting and waiting only to notice I forgot to have Charlie sign his. I was devastated! We have been so good...no...we have been great at getting through this paperwork. We were told we were going through this stuff in record pace! So to get there and almost be done only to find there is going to be yet one more delay kills me. Of course Charlie is out of town all day today and there is no way to run these prints to him to sign. I would say oh well, what's one more day and maybe most others would as well however if you ask Martin "what's one more day baby" I can't imagine it would be fine with him. One more day of that place is killing me. The worst part for me...I don't even know where he is! I have my imagination which is running wild right now. I'm sure that some of the research and other blogs I've been reading aren't helping in that department. I have been getting about 2-3 hours of sleep at a time since I have first seen his beautiful face! How can we get him home sooner. The only things we can do right now is to get that paperwork pushed, (yeah right) raise money so there are no delays when it comes to paying more and more adoption fees, and remind ourselves to stop and take a breath once in a while.

Love the blog, and the picture. You are moving fast. Remember, it's breathe, not hyperventilate ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and for Martin. We will help spread the word. I have 2 personal friends who adopted children w/ Ds from the Ukraine. www.savingsofia.blogspot.com and www.loveforlittleliam.blogspot.com In June we welcomed Sofia at the airport and just a few weeks ago welcomed John David (aka "Liam") at the airport. There are some great blogs out there for this. We wish you lots of luck and God speed!
ReplyDeleteMoncia, thank you for sharing those blogs with me. I will follow them now! I love getting to know all these families. I love the closeness of the DS community or the disability community over all. I love all of you guys and I love the support you have shown me!
