Still Waiting

Yes!!! We are still waiting for PA. During this whole process I told myself not to get on a "time frame"....just allow things to happen. For those of you that know me that is VERY difficult. I give myself x amount of time to get so and so accomplished and I do it. But, this whole adoption process doesn't work that way. Several weeks back PA's were coming in 45 days and I got VERY excited. Wrong thing to do!!! So, from my excitement came YES a "time frame". I thought okay GREAT they are doing alot better so I will definitely have mine in 45 days. WRONGO today is day 45 and NOTHING. There has been nothing at all for weeks. So, I am throwing my whole time schedule out the window....when I mean whole schedule I mean I tried to pinpoint how long I would be in PGN and even had Joshua home in my arms in September...all from the early PA's. So, back I go to NOT worrying and trying my BEST not to think about it. As my husband says all the time, "Worrying solves nothing" and that is the truth. It will not change the outcome of this adoption it will only keep me upset.

I guess you heard me say the letters PGN. Well, as I told you earlier we were put in PGN on 5/3 and at some point and time in the last week or so we have been KO'd (kicked out) for NO PA. You may be asking yourself who gives you PA (Pre-Approval) well, it's the US Embassy. Yes, that 's right the US. So, as of this moment in time our adoption is being held up on our end. Now, that's what is SO aggravating. I am going to call my Congressman on Monday and ask for help not just for myself but, for ALL these BEAUTIFUL children!!! If you feel like you would like to help please email me. There is NO need in these kids having to WAIT.

Today, I ask that you pray for not just myself but, for ALL the wonderful people that I have met on this journey. There are SO many people out there WAITING for PA, DNA to be authorized, DNA to be done, Family Court, WAITING for that OUT call and that wonderful PINK form that says YES you may come and pick up your child (embassy appt.). I also, ask that you please pray for those children that have not been placed with a family. They SO deserve a place to call home!!!

God Bless you all. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
