Oh! I just realized why I kept thinking today was significant for some reason. It was 8 years ago today that we got news that Taevy's adoption went through in Cambodia. Seriously, one of the happiest days of my life thus far. The day I became a mommy.
So I'm gathering from no comments on my last post that my "best case scenario" is a total pie in the sky hope and you all are trying to be nice to me by not saying so. It's true. Something will definitely happen to slow us up. I really need to just hope she's home for Christmas. But I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I tell every parent I work with never to think in terms of the best case scenario and here I am doing the exact same thing. When August arrives and Kendi Mae isn't home you all will have to pick me up off the floor because of my huge disappointment. Oh well.
This has been an incredibly difficult week as far as my work goes. Just so many sad things to take in. I hate calling families to give bad news. And this week was a bad news, followed by bad news, followed by bad news, sort of week. Next week must get better.
Despite the very long work hours and Ghana-related emotional stuff I dealt with this week, we were relatively successful at continuing with our adoption progress.
The I-600a and AAI application is in the mail. Feels good.
Still waiting on Eric's employment letter, one reference letter, the Kidney Social Worker letter, and doctor's statements for the kiddos. Then we'll have all of our homestudy stuff collected and can send it in to her. It will feel good to get that out.

Oh, Anita...its not that I was being nice by not saying anything...it is because I really wanted to just jump on your coattails and go for the same ride!!! I am praying that you get your Kendi Mae sooner than you can hope for...and I'm also praying that we aren't too far behind you.

Ha! I read Chanda's comment by skimming and just caught that she wasn't being nice part! I had to do a re-read on that one. But I too am hoping that Kendi can be home by August. And remember, you're just another mom waiting to bring her baby home now. Not AAI's adoption coordinator.
