THE GOLDEN PRIZE OF ADOPTION

After holing up for awhile contemplating our
lost referral, I was tired of putting our lives on hold.(can anyone relate?) So a mere two days after the hurricane, we packed up the family (& some extra kids to boot) & headed for the beach! On the way out of town I checked the mail ..Low & behold, there was our INS approval. Can you say 5 MONTHS LATER???? <---- especially funny when said like the narrator off of Sponge Bob! Now normally this would be fodder for a big celebration, but on this particular day, I merely smiled & shoved it (albeit safely!) into the glove box.Amazing! All you need to do is throw your hands up in frustration & swear to never think about Russia again.Apparently this makes the adoption gods look down in favor ....
WHO KNEW??? may we all hear more good news (especially when we are too weary to expect it.)here is a pix of the kids feeding birds..THIS is where my heart shall be focused.. at least for THIS WEEK
