MAYA'S ADOPTION JOURNEY

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY TO BRING MY DAUGHTER, MAYA GRACE HOME FROM GUATEMALA. DURING THIS JOURNEY I HAVE STUMBLED OVER MANY MOUNTAINS ONLY TO BUILD MY FAITH. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HARDEST JOURNEY'S OF MY LIFE AND IT HAS THE GREATEST PRIZE AT THE END. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO PLACE MY DAUGHTER IN MY ARMS FOREVER. MY DREAMS WILL THEN BE REALITY!!!

C-O-N-F-U-S-E-D

THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL AND CONFUSING DAY!! I WAS SO HOPING THAT I WOULD GET GOOD NEWS AND AN UPDATE ON MAYA. WELL, I DIDN'T GET ANY GOOD NEWS AND NO UPDATE. THAT IS JUST MY LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ADOPTION. I WAS READY TO JUST GIVE UP AND FORGET EVER BEING A MOMMY. THEN I LOOKED AT HER BEAUTIFUL PICTURE AND REALIZED THAT I COULDN'T GIVE UP. MAYA NEEDS ME. MY AGENCY SAID THAT THE DNA COULDN'T NOT BE DONE UNTIL I HAD MY 171H REDONE. WELL, IT HAS NOT EXPIRED. IT DOESN'T EXPIRE UNTIL NEXT MARCH. SO, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HOLD UP WAS. EVERYBODY ELSES' ADOPTION SEEMS TO BE MOVING. NOT MINE. IT IS JUST SITTING THERE AND MAYA IS GETTING OLDER. SO, I GO TO MY FAVORITE PLACE (FEDEX) AND FAX A COPY TO MY AGENCY. WHEN I GET BACK HOME I CONTACT HER TO SEE IF SHE GOT, WELL GUESS WHAT? SHE DIDN'T GET IT. ANOTHER BIT OF MY GOOD LUCK!! SO, TODAY I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT I WILL EVER HAVE MAYA IN MY ARMS. AT THE RATE I AM GOING SHE WILL BE IN COLLEGE BEFORE SHE COMES HOME. TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, THANK GOD!!! MAYBE I WILL HAVE A LITTLE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE DNA IN THE MORNING.

You will get her home. She is your daughter and she is in your life for a reason.
Am praying really hard for you and Maya.
Have they got that form yet?!

Praying for you and for Maya! Having gone through one Russian adoption, and two Guatemalan ones, I understand your emotions. It will happen. Hang in there!
