Old v. New

Well it seems, just when you think you are on one path....life switches things up.  So last Friday, I knew that my dossier was being delivered to Haiti and I had made it to the next step.  On Saturday, I received an email saying that I now needed to be open to possibly being part of the new process OR the OLD process.

What does that mean? The way I understand it... is the old way is being matched by the director of the creche instead of IBESR and my trip would be one week as opposed to two.  Which is better?  I don't know.  I just know that whatever process I am in, I will be in the right one.  So old or new?  I am not sure....but stay tuned!

Timeline...

Back in December, I began working on my dossier.  For those who are unaware, the dossier is your adoption packet for a lack of technical terms.  I remember thinking, I will crank this out over my Christmas break.  I remember going to the administration office for my employment letter and it went so well, everyone was excited and they were so helpful.  No problem, this will be easy.  I continued on, but January 7th came a little quicker then I had planned and it was back to the world of 2nd grade.  I continued to work on getting letters, getting them notarized, authenticated, re-done, re-notarized,  and re-authenticated.  Spring break came and certainly it would get done!  Nope, a few changes and a few more papers!  Then off to get translated!  Then to the Haitian Consulate in Chicago.  But today it finally happened, my dossier made it to HAITI!!!!!

Now we wait some more, have you noticed that is kinda a theme???

So once again, my timeline didn't go quite as planned.  However, in the end it is isn't about my timeline...someone knows what is meant to be and I keep reminding myself to enjoy the ride!  So now I will sit back and enjoy the ride, while I wait for that call that finally tells me I am a MOM!!!
