You have given me the courage to create my own blog about our adoption woes. This whole process is the pits. Tell me again why we’re doing this? My faithful cat is purring by my side while I can’t sleep and am reading blogs. Would a kid do that? (would I want her to sit on the desk, pushing my arm off the mouse, and purr? have to think on that one.)

Thank you for being slightly nuts and not afraid to show it

That’s so unfair. It’s too bad, but a lot of those workers develop much too thick of a skin. They lose their empathy somewhere along the line.
I hope they get it together quickly.

Taking their own sweet time seems to be the company mottto in adoption-land. This happened with my first “niece” and we are now waiting for her patient parents to receive travel approval so that they can go and get her sister (who is 7 and not getting any younger in that orphanage, people!!!). Frustrating does not cover it. Irritated does not cover it. Pissed off does not cover it.

Here’s hoping that both of your waits come to an end soon.

Your a way better woman then me.

I’d have already lost my mind and would have done some stupid act of rage that would have rendered me childless.

When I grow up, I’m aiming to be like you. If only to breath fire from my nose.

On a serious note though, your going to get that kiddo hun, hang in there.

I feel your daughter’s pain. I have a similar condition (that’s TMI isn’t it?) and it flares up when I’m highly stressed. My husband’s sympathetic remark was “Don’t scratch it.” *rolls eyes*.
And my father always used to say “If you want something done, call an engineer. If you want something done slowly, call the government.” Good luck, RM. We’re rootin’ for you.
