Adoption Journey

And we wait...

So I tried to post yesterday about waking up every morning just hoping that today is the day we get the coveted email.."Good news, your LOIs have arrived". Yes, I know we should not be expecting anything for a couple more weeks, but hey, a girl can hope, right?? Anyway, it would take a miraculous turn of events for us to get the LOI before the end of September.

Then I got home to this email from D...
"D2 thinks you will probably go with another of our families and travel
soon so I will get [another agency employee] to make an appointment with you to go
over the travel papers."

Did you read that? "SOON"!!! When is SOON? I need specific details...not SOON!!! To someone waiting to go and get their child...SOON is like tomorrow! Oh well...at least we got some good news! Now if only everyone follows through on this and we do actually get to go "SOON".

I did schedule the aforementioned appointment, which is officially known as the "Travel Preparation Call". We will go over all the final paperwork we need to complete and hopefully get some answers to some travel related questions, although I am not holding my breath on that.

I guess I do really need to get started on this kids room, huh? I feel like I am suddenly slipping into panic mode, but don't know where to start in terms of getting ready to have a child in the house! As of right now our child will be naked because we have no clothes for him, be bored out of his mind cuz he has not toys yet....he will have a bed though, although it is currently in what is considered the guest room, and not at all decorated for a little boy....oh boy, we have a lot to do!!! But he will definately have LOVE....which I guess in the whole scheme of things is really the most important piece of the puzzle. And of that he will have more of than he'll know what to do with.
