Can I just say, I have an amazing knack for doing just about everything I have ever done the HARD way?
I've always been one to not follow the leader...because I AM the leader. Which means it takes me a hot minute (or year....whatevs) to realize I'm running myself ragged and the task at hand could have been sooooo much easier.
So, why on Earth did I think this adoption process would be anything but hard like the rest of things I have done in life? Seriously.
It would have been so much easier to early on just let it all go and say, "Ok, God, whatever you want for our family I am willing to accept." But, uh, ya. No. I had to just recently come to that realization!
Truthfully, I cannot complain, we've been at this for just 5 and half months. Sure there are variables and constants that are not fun; but in the end, it doesn't matter. In the end, we will have a new member added to our family.
We will be fingerprinted tomorrow. Praying we can walk-in with no issue to get this done. Otherwise, Shawn will have wasted a paid day for nothing but a waste of gas and we will have to go back down on Monday for our REAL appointment.
Thanks everyone! I will keep you posted

You're a take-charge kinda woman. Normally...just fine. But as you know and we've discussed on numerous occasions...gotta let the BIG GUY be in charge of this one.
Spot on Cathy! Christie, you are a mama bear who takes charge and is proactive. There is nothing wrong with that. Although there have been a lot of road bumps these past 5 months and I do not think any of this is the result of you taking charge. . . God is trying teach us about relying on Him and on the virtue of patience. He really really really wants the patience part apparently.
I agree with Cathy. praying for you. Hugs
