Waiting a few more weeks....

Our agency just informed us that it might be a few more weeks before we get our referral. That means we would not travel until the end of summer (probably - maybe sooner) or even into the school year. Besides being very disappointed, we need to figure out a plan B for one of us spending time with our baby when we get home (of course we knew there would be a good possibilty we would need to figure out various scenarios of timing, time off work, etc). We have been brainstorming.....

We know the bottom line is we will get a beautiful baby and that baby will be perfect for us. We are so blessed. But we were hoping the timing would work out so that we could take advantage of our time off in the summer. We were told that the wait was uncertain, and I guess we just hoped for the best scenario. But in international adoption, contol is something that you do not have and we will need to let go, make our plans, hope that we can still spend part of the summer with our child and figure out the finances of one of us not working for a longer period of time in the fall.

So....no news for awhile!
