The weeks are getting long. Maybe it's because the nights are getting longer. I twist and turn and find myself getting maybe 4 hours of sleep a night only because I can't shut my brain off -- it just thinks about our dear K all the time. What is she doing? Will she remember us at all? How many words is she saying now? Does she have another cold?
I sent an e-mail to our Agency yesterday asking for an update. I don't want to sound pushy but we have paid for their kids' college tuition with the amount in fees we've shelled out...so I figured we deserve something...even if it's a "we're still waiting to hear". No word yet so we continue to try and be patient. And the fact that they are closed on Fridays really makes it a long weekend. :(
I'm sure our p/w made it safely but I want confirmation from our coordinator in Russia that she got it and that it was all in order. I can't imagine that the Judge could want anything else...except our FBI Clearance, which expires March 26. We sent our fingerprints to the FBI several weeks ago and I messed up -- included personal checks for payment instead of money orders. Ugh -- you'd think that after doing 3 rounds of fingerprints I'd get it right! Money orders were sent via FedEx on Monday so we're hoping our FBI Clearance comes through quickly.
In the meantime, K's crib is filling up! When I remember that we have to bring something to Russia, I immediately put it in the crib so it doesn't get misplaced. Soon, we'll be bringing in the suitcases and really start packing. Let's hope we hear something soon so we can go bring K home where she belongs ~ in her own crib and in our arms!

I hope you hear something soon!! AO is open on fridays until 1, aren't they? or do you mean EKat is closed on fridays??? bummer.. remember when long weekends were "can't wait for them?" .. you'll get there, Laura! you will... and we all hope it's really really really soon! Amy
I hated the weekends. They were so depressing. I'm sure you will hear something soon. It was about a month between the last updates and the phone call with our travel dates came. Hang in there.

The weekends are the worst! I used to look forward to Fridays but not so much anymore. Now I long for Monday.
I am pushy with my agency. You are right about the fees, they should answer all your questions, no matter how frequently you ask. :)

Laura,
Isn’t it funny how you feel about asking questions? It is like a science trying to figure out how to ask questions without sounding pushy. And you don’t want to ask too many with the fear of being annoying. But you don’t want to not ask and not do all you can to keep things moving. Ugh! It is soooo hard. Hang in there.
I wish I could offer you more than "hang in there" and "we are all hoping and praying the call comes soon"! Maybe think ahead... she'll definitely be here for (fill-in-the-blank-special-activity-or-holiday).
I can finally think ahead too!! We got our referral call late Wednesday afternoon and in 2 hours we are meeting with our SW to see our daughter's picture for the first time!! Travel should be around July!
still waiting! :( i am so sorry. that has is so frustrating! surely you will hear something very soon.
I hope you hear something very soon!
Joy
