What a week!!!! And it is only Wednesday!!! I have looked forward to this time for so long and have spent the past week a nervous wreck. But we are moving forward and preparing to travel. We are hopeful with the US delegation traveling to Russia next week, that we will be able to get court in before any possible changes or suspensions. Our agency told us that according to the team in Russia, once court is over, the adoption is considered complete. So, hopefully we won't have any surprises or delays for our final trip. We hope and pray NO ONE has any delays! I know there are so many of you out there who are at various stages of the adoption process. We know how nerve wracking it is each day. Days full of blog reading, internet searching and TV watching for any bit of information you can find. You are all in our prayers!!!
We learned yesterday that there is a chance we may have to extend or change our final trip in order to get all of the paperwork done. It was very upsetting, but I'm not going to focus on that right now. I'm leaving for this trip praying that things work out and we will still be home Mother's Day weekend! I want to be with all three of my children on Mother's Day!
My poor Aidan has a pretty nasty infection on his arm that we are now treating with antibiotics and occasional "squeezing". What?!? I said it was nasty! I hope it starts to clear up before Saturday. I will have a difficult time leaving him if it looks worse. Right now he is in a lot of pain and can barely move his arm. That may have something to do with the "squeezing" we just had to do :)
Thank you so very much for all the support!!! We have the best family and friends! During our tough times, we could truly feel the love. As for my blogger pals, you have been an amazing source of strength. You know exactly what we are going through and have taught us so much about adoption. I am so grateful to have found you out there in cyberland!

Your almost there . Don't get discouraged. You are further along than we are or some of the other people. Every time I get discouraged I think how lucky I am that we got our referral already and some people are still waiting. You are so close!!!!I am sending you some positive thoughts and lots of hugs!!!!!
You are almost to the finish line. Stay strong and keep your eyes focused on the end. Everything is going to work out. IA is always a huge roller coaster ride and you are nearing the gate to get off! It has truly been a ride lately, hasn't it?! God wouldn't have brought you this far to leave you...you will be amazed when you can look back and see all that He did to help you complete this and to help you along the way. He provides the right people and HIS timing is perfect.
I am so sorry to hear about your son. It sounds aweful. Hopefully, he will feel better so that you can leave with a peace about that.
Hugs to you! Focus on the prize.
