Ugh. 2012 definitely isn't going as I had hoped. We were hoping to hear something on January 2nd and still haven't heard anything. No agencies have heard anything. Babies are just waiting. and waiting. and waiting. It is definitely wearing heavy on me and I've been so teary today. I know that God's timing is perfect...but this is tough stuff. We've almost been in the process for 2 1/2 years, saw his picture almost 14 months ago...and we are still waiting.
Yep. This is one of those poor me posts that I hate to make. Hate it. Can't wait until I get to post that his EP has been submitted. I look forward to posting that his EP has been approved. I'm anticipating the day when I can post that we received his travel call. And I am longing for the day when I am posting while in Korea that we have met our son.
Sigh. So tired of waiting. My patience ran out when the calendar turned 2012.

It's 2012!!!
I haven't had much to post here lately & couldn't fathom posting another "poor me, I'm still waiting post" so I just avoided the blog for a bit.
Back in May, we found out that we missed the EP cut off by 9 days. I was heartbroken. Boohooed like a baby. Deep, heavy sobs. It was such a low point in this adoption journey. I kept thinking 2012 is so far away!
But...2012 is finally here!!! If everything goes according to the past year's trends, then Madden's paperwork should be submitted to the Korean government any day. Can I get a Woohoo?!? I have been on the verge of tears and have been a bit sick to my stomach today. I'm just nervous to get myself too over anxious. I'm so fearful of another delay & have my heart set on getting him in February. I am beyond ready to meet my sweet boy!
If you all could please be in prayer for a quick EP submittal and EP approval, I would be so appreciative! We are all weary in this journey & are ready. Beyond ready. Like..."ready to get on an airplane right this second" kind of ready.
Nervous, anxious, excited, scared...you name it, I'm feeling it!
Last week, we went to Indianapolis to get refingerprinted for the USCIS clearance for our adoption. Our current fingerprints expire mid-February, so it was just too close to not get refingerprinted. This momma can't handle any more delays!
The plan for this week is to start going through Mason's clothes that we've saved & try to figure out what I need to buy before he gets here. I've put off doing much of this until this month. I figured I need some projects to keep me busy until he gets here! We also set up the toys Santa brought him for Christmas. It is starting to feel real! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!!!!
