Still Waiting - not so patiently anymore

We haven't received "the call". We are still in PGN - I guess that is better than getting word that our dossier was kicked out for a previo. I'm going to try to be a little more upbeat than I was for the last post.

So, our little man turned 13 months on Monday - so instead of being anxious about receiving news that we are out of PGN, I am going to be excited about any new pictures we might receive this week. I think I'm also going to ask some questions, like --- Is he walking????? What is his favorite toy??? Oh, yeah - I think I should probably send him a package -- with all the clothes that may not fit him when he finally comes home. I'm sure our attorney and his foster mom would be greatful for anything we would send - especially since they have had him for longer than they have most adoptees. I just hope that our attorney doesn't start asking for more money to cover her expenses for caring for him because a lot of attorneys are doing that now!!!

The process is really causing a hardship for everyone - for the attorneys who are paying to care for the children; the foster parents who are getting more and more attached, the birth moms who have to keep revisiting a hard decision, the children who get older and older; the adoptive parents who are continuing to wait, the adoption agencies who are stuck in the middle with ongoing cases that are not moving and the fact that the country is now closed to adoptions is not helping the agency any either.

So, I can't love on him, however, I am hopeful that we will get new photos and find out what is going on with his little life.

Okay, so I wasn't totally positive this time - but I'm trying!!
