    I am sorry you have that preminition! Pray against it and whenever a bad thought pops into your head, ask God to take it away!! Praying that NOTHING is wrong!!

    I'm so sorry you have the gut feeling. Sometimes my gut feelings are right on sometimes it's just heartburn. Never can tell. Just wait and see..In the meantime we will pray for you and Maya. I'm excited that you get to go visit her again. Start packing girlfriend.

    Yay! You're going to have so much fun. I had the same fears when we were in PGN. I had nightmares about the cleaning lady throwing our file in the trash. Never good to ignore your instincts. If calls need to be made, calls need to be made.

    Ginger,
    looks like you have a lot to be excited about!
    What makes you think something is wrong with your case?
    Praying for you right now...

    You tell her girl - it is soooooooooooooo easy for somebody that does not have an empty crib in their house to jugde and have unrealistic expectations of how somebody handles thier emotions. God gave us emotions and HE created a Mother's heart - you are doing fine - do whatever you have to do to get your baby home - I am behind you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am so happy that you are going to see and maybe pickup Maya!!

    I am also happy that D is going with you! I am glad you aren't going alone!!!!

    Hang in there... you will hear something soon... I know waiting for news form PGN drove me crazy... I was so sure something was wrong, and then... that crazy rumor stuff about the stopping of all adoptions... and then... I WAS OUT....

    You are not being negative at all... YOU ARE BEING A WORRIED MOMMY!!!!

    So, mommy, is Maya's "SUITCASES" packed yet? Or do we need to do some more shopping!!!! I like the shopping part!!!!

    Hugs
    Ellie

    OH... AND THIS TAG THING... I am a virgin on it... Sorry... But I tagged you back... I don't have lots of friends !!!!LOVE YA!!!!

    Now that I've caught up, I'm so sorry that someone/people felt compelled to do whatever nasty thing they did. Maya is SO beautiful and you're both in my prayers that your journey ends soon and your life with Maya where she belongs can begin!!

    We hit every roadblock imaginable in our adoption and Libby came home at 10 1/2 months, which actually worked for us!

    Lean on your friends and blogger pals - that's what were here for!!!

     

  • At 10:28 AM, Blogger Holly said…

    I hope nothing's wrong! This process is so difficult, isn't it? Why can't they see these are BABIES/children who just need to go home?!

     

  • At 3:10 PM, Blogger Lori said…

    Have you heard anything?! Just thinking of you!!

     

  • At 7:15 AM, Blogger Wendy said…

    I know that feeling! Hopefully it's just the holiday downtime that has slowed things down. That stinks about other people being rats, too. People continually amaze me. Just when I think I have seen it all, someone does something new. I was thinking about you this weekend and wondering when you were going to visit again. Now you can countdown until Maya is in your arms again.

     

  • At 8:03 AM, Blogger kate said…

    I think Lori had the best suggestion. Yes, take advantage of all the people who are willing to make calls on your behalf. Even more importantly, when that nagging feeling come, pray. Be grateful for the reminder and pray for Maya, for Mr. PGN, for the cleaning lady who didn't throw away your file...

    I'll pray for you, too.

    ps Do you know the Russian proverb, "Pray to God and row toward shore."? I think it's perfect for international adoption!
