Our Family Journey

Day 39 PGN
16 Days till we see Maria!

I received a medical update on Maria today. The medical updates aren't any more than her weight, length and the circumference of her head. They all look pretty normal and she is gaining weight so she seems pretty healthy.

No word yet on our case. It's really starting to drive me batty....but there's nothing anyone can do about it, so we just sit and wait for the phone to ring. Please keep Dave, I and Maria in your prayers that we hear soon that we are out of PGN and that they haven't found a mistake in our paperwork that will delay our case. At this point, we can still hope that she will be home for Christmas...but time is starting to slip away and we may not make it. I guess I am really starting to feel the pressure of the adoption because today I just feel down. I'm trying to stay positive and focus on the fact that it's not "if" Maria will be home, but "when" she will be home....I guess some days are just harder than others. Now that I have let out my frustration and depressive thoughts on you I will sign off. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day!
