Thanks to family and friends (here and in the blog world) for all the kind words and reassurances. It is so nice to know we are not alone in all of this.
Sometimes this process can be sooooo frustrating, and we can't help but find ourselves ranting about it all, but we do know that it will all be very worth it in the end. I know that many others are going through the same things that we are, and have also had their own setbacks. This was a rough week for several families going through court in Ethiopia and my heart goes out to all of them. I think this post by Jana and this one from Renee's dad definitely help put things in perspective.
So no more complaining... (at least for today!).
Besides, we realized yesterday that we have slightly more pressing issues to focus on. We're gearing up for a vacation in a couple of weeks and realized yesterday that we never got travel visas for one of our destinations. Ooops!! (We should be able to resolve this tomorrow, but it's fair to say I was feeling very anxious and stressed yesterday and, for the first time in a while, it had absolutely nothing to do with adoption!!).
In other news, we're getting ready for a visit from our Aussie friend (who I met in SE Asia - go figure). He's due to arrive here this afternoon... somewhere in between his travels to Japan, Vegas, and Mexico (to name a few of his stops). Now that's a good life!
