Another week

This has been a really hard week. We still did not receive a hearing date. I have really tried not to be upset, but it is hard to not let that happen. I can not understand why everything has to be so difficult for us. Why, why, why. At this rate the earliest we will bring her home is probably June. I don't get it. It sucks, and that is all there is to it.

Lisa,
I am so sorry things have been so tough for your family. It seems there is no rhyme or reason, sometimes. And, for some, it seems things move along perfectly smoothly with no gliches--then, for no fault of their own, there are those who seem to hit every obstacle possible. I think we are probably closer to you on that. It took us a whole year to get a notarized homestudy (due to no fault of our own). It took us 11 months from the time we started our journey to even get added to the waitlist. And, now the wait-times have grown exponentially. Others who started their adoption journeys only weeks before we did are already home with their babies--and here we sit #9 on the waitlist.

It is a tough road----but you are in my prayers. And, this rough time will evaporate (although I know you can't get these months back) once you hold sweet Paige in your arms. It won't be long now. Your daughter is very close to coming home. Hopefully, your news will come next week.
My heart is with you.

Hey Lisa,

I have been checking on here everyday just hoping and praying that you heard something. I am thinking of you and although I have no idea what your going through, I know that you will get through it. Your a tough cookie. Keep strong and positive. Think of all the good things you have and how much better it will be when you bring her home :)

Always,
Donna

Journey to our baby said...

I feel for you Lisa. I agree, it sucks and it must be so very hard. I don't understand why it is so easy for some and so difficult for others. I am thinking of you. I am feeling pretty discouraged these days also, we just have to stick together and we will get through this.

It does suck! I am with you TOTALLY on this. Although we have had our hearing...what the heck is the point seeing as we will NEVER have a first ruling! It sucks and it SO isn't fair.
Hugs

Lisa,

I am so discouraged for you. What a long wait just to get the process rolling! My hope for you is that it will all even out in the end (as it somehow often does) and that once you have your Hearing, the Rulings will follow quickly and you'll be on your way to Taiwan to hold this precious little baby girl.

Huge hugs to you!,

Lisa,

I am so sorry, but keep in mind that sometimes the hearing, first ruling and final ruling come in a flash, which I think is what you will see happen. Hang in there, it will be an amazing summer, as she will be home, and you should try to fill your time with getting ready, because when it does happen, you are never ready....but it will keep you a little busy :0)
