Life goes on
I hate Mondays. Traffic was absolutely horrific this morning. Took me almost 2 hours to get in. Everyone thinks they will beat the shore traffic on Sunday by just leaving Monday morning! So in addition to the regular commuters, we have to deal with all the BENNIES trying to get back up north! I love living at the shore, but all you BENNIES need to go home SUNDAY!!!! Ok - I am done with my rant.
Well we survived the weekend. It was tough after Friday but we made it. Both of us feel sorry for Chance (our black lab) cuz he is just wandering around looking for Kayro - he no longer has his play buddy. He laid by where her water bowl and food used to be and just whimpered last night...hard to explain what happened to a dog!
It looks like we won't be hosting a child this summer. Just cannot seem to get everyone involved on the same page, so I guess I won't get to be a mom for 3 weeks. Its probably best because being the sap that I am I may just fall in love with the child and refuse to let the child go back** and we'd end up re-living the Ilian Gonzalez tragedy of a few years ago! I will just try to focus on our little unknown person for now.
Read some more about yet another new requirment for Kaz dossiers. As of the end of June every dossier must be translated by one of two embassy approved translators - they are doing this in hopes of speeding up dossier processing time which is currently 1 - 2 months. I have learned to question our agency with everything I read now and heard back that they already use the embassy approved translators - good to know. So we now just sit and wait for the remaining apostilles to be translated. Hopefully that will be done and the dossier on its way to the embassy by the end of the week. Maybe, just maybe, we can actually stay on track now and finish this adoption journey up without them (whoever "they" are) changing the rules on us again - hey I can hope can't I? LOL!!!
** edited to add that on the off chance some international adoption official is reading this, that that comment is made in 100% sarcastic humor mode. :-)
