Deja-vu
Or rather Deja-blue(claws).
Our luck with Blueclaws tickets continues (now only if we could shift that luck to the adoption). Last night was an absolutely beautiful night so we decided to go to the Blueclaws game. Got to the ticket window and just as we were about to purchase our tickets...someone presented us with free ones again! Yay Us...again!!! AWESOME seats too - not that there are any bad seats in the small stadium, but these were right behind the BC dugout - literally right behind...I am talking 1st row!! How cool is that? It was a MUCH better game than Sundays, although they lost again, this time it was only 2-1.
So...adoption news....there are rumors floating around on the message boards that things in Almaty region (which is where we think we are going) are slowing down and may come to a halt. There is some confusion as to whether this is the whole region or just Almaty city. Our agency says its just the city and the child we are hoping to adopt is in the region, but not the city, so we should be OK (yeah, right - I have heard that before - hmmmm....more deja vu?). There are basically 2 rumors regarding the delay. The first is that they are stopping adoptions because agencies are not submitting the required post-placement reports. The other is that things will stop in September due to presidential elections. Either way I don't like the sounds of this. It is looking more and more likely that we will not have a child in 2005 ~ which in addition to just plain sucking for a whole lot of reasons, opens a whole new can of worms in that most of our papework will expire January 1, 2006 ~ which basically means we have to start over....AGAIN.
