THIRD!!!!!!!

We are THIRD in the DCSF queue of papers to be sent out to country!!!! Our papers could go out this week!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I can't get too excited as the lady at DCSF said a lot of staff are off due to the half term, so it might take a bit longer!! But wowowowowow it really truly COULD be this week!!!!! The end of this marathon adoption quest could finally be in sight :-)

Hi Janet--No word from our agency. I did send off an email to our agency to get their thoughts and see if they could give me some comfort in this wait. Probably nothing they can do. I don't do this often 4 times in 19 months (yup it's 19 months waiting as of today), but I was compelled to do so. I haven't heard back yet. It looks like our Izabella wasn't in this batch. Possibly she's on the shared list at the end of them month. Still HOPING. Thanks for asking.

Thinking of you my friend--It's going to happen for us--yes it is!

Love, Lisa A

Congratulations!! We are on the edge of our seats waiting to hear something from you. With China at a snails pace, I really need to see a friend bring home a baby...a BABY! WooHoo! I can't wait!:)

Hi Little Sis,
I think you're probably right not to tell the cousins, there's still a long way to go yet! I'll keep you all updated of how its going :-)

Hi Lisa,
Sorry you've not heard from your agency, and that it looks like Izabella isn't in this batch, big hugs (((((((((())))))))) I'm sure that once you see your Izabella's face for the first time you will realise why you had to wait for HER and why she is perfect for you and Dan :-)
Just a little bit more patience for us both now, we are so close :-)
Love

Hi Mac,
Thank you :-) Don't worry I will be shouting from the rooftops when our papers are finally off to Ethiopia :-) And hopefully we won't have too long to wait after that.
Glad to see you are still waiting too :-) Its a long hard road we are all on, but I'm sure the end result will be fantastic :-)
Lots of love

Hi Carrie,
I have hardly left the computer and keep pressing "Send and Receive" on my email lol. I'm going to wear the button out!!! Hopefully it will be this week and I won't have another weekend of biting my nails and eating too much chocolate! Glad to see your making progress finally with your project too :-)
Lots of love
Janet
