Another day of waiting. As unbelievable as it sounds, on her way back with some of the documents, the little one's mother had her purse stolen. So she spent the afternoon in the police department reporting the theft and was left without money or her ticket to get back.
She now has a way home, but it's unlikely she will be here in time for a meeting. I believe the agency continues to wait on the doctor's office to fax over records. While it can be hard to believe how difficult this is, I do believe it. We had our own struggles with our own medical records which we discovered were not completely faxed to the new doctor, we are still working on that one...a year later. But that's beside the point.
There's nothing much we can do really. It wouldn't be proper for us to offer to help because this is not our decision and not our part of the process.
We went exploring alittle today and saw some neat places. It was good to get out. But my mind can't help but wander to the little one and what she might be like.
The agency is feeling badly that they had us come out so early. I feel silly for having jumped on the idea so quickly. Truely, of all people, I should have known to ask if the paperwork was in order! It's what I DO for a job!
I've seen these bumps happen in lots of adoptions. I have come to realize they are more typical than not. Someone once said that about weddings to me too....there will always be something that doesn't go the way you planned. So there you have it, weddings and adoptions are both bumpy rides. We are padding our bumps with prayer.
