We have been so excited and on the edge of our seats knowing that we are next. Every time the phone rings, our stomachs get butterflies hoping it is "The Call." Whoever is not near the phone is asking the other one, "Who is it, Who is it?"
But so far, it hasn't been "the call." It was instead a call we feared. A couple of weeks ago, December 3rd, our social worker called and told us that the judge did not see that she would have time to see any adoption cases in the month of January and would not do any until Februrary. "Apparently" she has more important things to do.
It hurts so bad and makes us so angry! We have been so postive through out most of this and each time, (not to brag) have pumped ourselves back up within a few hours. We have even managed to pump our families up at times. This time is very different. We can't seem to shake the saddness. We know that he is doing great, but could do so much better here with us. He is learning Russian now which will make the transition even harder. He was 9 months old when we saw him last and is now almost 18 months old. When will we travel? We are still next, but does that really mean February? If we travel in February, it will be a year since we first found out that he would be a part of our family. We recieved his video and pictures on February 17th, 2004. Christmas has been very difficult without him! We thought we would get to decorate our tree as a family of three or at least be with him in Russia for Christmas. What we need is a court date, and in the mean time we need strength from our Lord God.
Thank you all for your prayers!
