1 year, 2 months, 4 weeks: Update

That's how long we have waited according to Lillypie. The 4 weeks part was easy. I really thought after one month "wow that went by quick". Oh how naive! I suppose if I stopped watching youtube videos of people traveling and and getting "the call" I would probably be able to go a day or two without crying.

As I was typing this post my specialist from CHSFS called. NO not that call (damn it!!). She did say that CHSFS got to plead their case to the embassy and let them know that 20 appts a month was going to leave a lot of children waiting a long time for their parents. She is optimistic that they may allow more appts sometime soon. I didn't realize that a sibling group of 3 would take up 3 of embassy appts. I was thinking it was 1 per family not per child.

Also, the care center may be filled and unable to take more children until these children go home to their forever families. So I will hope and pray that our child is able to be with their family a little longer. That would make this wait worth it. I think about their birth mother and family all the time. Maybe they will get to spend this Christmas with their son/daughter. Maybe our little one will get a few more kisses and hugs from the woman who will give us everything we have always wanted. I hope that this is the case.
