Are We Crazy?

For many reasons, we are doubting our adoption from Kazakhstan and will contemplate seriously this weekend, transferring to the Ethiopia program. I think pending law changes, extended trips and just a real gut is telling us that our path may be elsewhere. So crazy as we are sooooooooo close to travel and we've been waiting almost 2 years. God has a plan for us. I know it. Fortunately, our agency has an amazing Ethiopia program and the transition, I think it would be smooth. I cannot tell you why this makes sense to us, but Pat is feeling the same way. So many people have walked the path with us and we are forever indebted to their support as they, in some small way, have helped us along. Funny that I have advised two friends that if we would have started over again, we would go to Ethiopia and those two folks are well on their way. It has been nudging at us and maybe its time to take the plunge?

Valentine's Day in Kaz?

So we don't have our letter of invitation yet BUT we do have tentative dates of arriving on Feb 17th . It seems so far away and like it will never get her. 5 weeks - can we handle it?

2010 is the Year

This has been the longest break ever. I wish I would have allowed myself to enjoy it a bit more. Hard to have so much unstructured time when you are anxiously awaiting your child. Had dinner with Cuales' tonight which cheered me up tremendously. They gave us baby and travel stuff and some reassurance as well. Feeling better and much more optimistic. I hope that we might be in Karaganda by February? At least I have some things to do to keep me busy - update dossier, get our money in order, etc.
