Maybe My Phone is Broken

Still haven't heard about court. Five weeks since we saw our baby girl! With each passing day, I get more anxious. I'm really running out of steam with this adoption. We hit the 3 year mark this month that we started with adoption and I really feel we have paid our dues. I just want to go on with my life. I'm tired of being consumed with paperwork, waiting for phones calls and just plain feeling like our lives are on hold. With all that being said, of course we will keep plugging along. There is the most beautiful baby girl waiting for us, too! Some how I think she is probably being more patient :)

you're a lot stronger than me. i would have thrown in the towel a long time ago after everything you've been through. hopefully you'll get some good news soon.

Hoping you hear of a court date soon.... we just found out last week our court date. Ours will be 4 months in between 1st trip and court. The waiting has been really hard! Hang in there!

You are not alone - I promise!! We waited almost two years for a referral and it will be a little more than three months between our first visit and court. Remember the Tom Petty song "The Waiting"? So true, the waiting is the hardest part. Here's hoping you hear some good news soon.

We waited 4 months between Trips 1 and 2 - so you might have a loooong wait to go. It was unbearable, but no one cares.

I know how you feel! Waiting after seeing your baby is the WORST part of the entire process! Sending positive thoughts your way!

Hi Jeannette and Brad,

Nice to meet you! I found your connection on Jeannie and Freddy's blog whom I met at the Baby Orphanage #3. It looks like you're adopting from the same one and you were there right before me! I went for my preview trip on February 9th and met TJ, my new son. I am now stuck in FBI fingerprint hell....13 weeks they tell me before Moscow will even give me a court date. It is agony.

I know that your phone call will come soon. Keep the faith, I know too, that it is very hard.

Best,
Laura Jones

I remember this part all too well...it comes up before you know it..but its probably the worst part. Once you go to court, you feel confident. Keep those boots concrete! XOX
