IA Plans . . . Seem to Always Change!

So, I haven't posted for several days . . .

There is a reason for the abrupt lack of postings . . . And, I have traveled many "heart and soul" miles within the last several days with many phone calls and emails.

Unfortunately, plans have changed and we will not be traveling to Pakistan to adopt little Sweet Pea. With a heavy heart . . . I have to finally accept, she is just not meant to be my daughter.

What does that all mean? Well . . . we are back at the "Wait" phase of the IA journey.

I have not given up and, as Nicky says, "Mama, I don't like waiting for my baby sister. But . . . I guess, we just HAVE to wait for her!"

Chin up! Is there any good news in all of this? YES!!! I am now registered in 2 different countries, Russia and Pakistan. So, we will humbly and prayerfully wait and see what the next month brings!

Thank you all, for your continued prayers, support and encouragement.

Bless your heart, Nancy! I certainly understand Nicky's readiness to meet his little sister - it's so so hard to wait and you two have been waiting so long!

Know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

You have an excellent outlook - bummed for you guys, though. At the end of the day, I pray that you will understand all of the hoops that God has you jumping through to get to your daughter, because there most certainly is a reason for the jumps! :o)

Big, big hugs! I first saw your post on my blackberry but couldn't comment which was just killing me! I love the outlook you have - so positive and Nicky is just the cutest. What a great big brother he will be!!

:(

That little guy above says it all... I wish things were different... that they were quicker... and that they were easy... but they aren't but in the end, they are right. While that doesn't help either one of us right now as we wait, some day, when we hold our children, these waiting days will make sense and at the same time won't matter anymore. If I could I'd hug you... but since I can't I'll just say a prayer for you, Nicky, and your baby girl out there somewhere.
Hang in there...
