TA!! Hoping for a July 22nd departure date for sweet Poppy!
news.
And while it is good news for someone (who got their LOA today)… it’s not good news for us. No TA today. Not gonna lie. I’m really sad. Tried not to get my hopes up, but I guess I did. Thanks for the sweet notes of encouragement y’all. I’m not sure how I’d manage on this roller-coaster ride without you…. Read More
a teeny tiny TA update
Have confirmed with our agency that a DHL package was delivered to them this morning. Have no idea if our TA was in that package. Have been promised that I will be notified this afternoon if indeed our TA is in that package. Promise to let y’all know either way. I didn’t think my inbox checking could get any worse…. Read More
the watched pot
I think those old wives were on to something when they determined that a watched pot never boils. Seriously, no word yet. Nada. Zilch. And, evidently, checking my inbox 2,984 times yesterday did not make our TA arrive. My sweet friends Diana and Nicole did get their TAs yesterday. Still optimistic that we might hear something today. It would be… Read More
dreaming of Poppy
I’m finding myself dreaming of Poppy more and more, as we inch ever-so-slowly to bringing her home. Wondering about her little personality. What she really looks like. What she sounds like. What makes her sad. And what makes her smile. And dreaming of the time I feel the weight of her in my arms, at last. Please, oh please… TA… Read More
if a picture…
is worth a thousand words, then three pictures are worth three thousand words. And after getting these new pictures of Poppy, every one of those words is telling me, we need to get our girl home. Today marks 2 weeks since we received our Article 5. So TA could arrive any day now. Once TA arrives, we should travel in… Read More
closer
We have hit a major milestone. Our Article 5 was issued today. Which probably doesn’t mean a whole lot to most of y’all. But it’s a pretty big deal in the world of adoption. It’s the step right before TA, which happens right before you get your CA, which happens right before you buy your plane tickets, lose sleep from… Read More
when?
That’s the big question. At least, that’s the big question at this house. And right now, we really have no idea. As y’all probably know, this adoption has been, *ahem*… a bit unconventional. We started out sanely enough (“sane” being a relative term) in April of 2010. Determined to finish our dossier before ‘finding’ our child, we were LID on… Read More
NHBO: help wanted
If y’all have been around here long enough, y’all know about No Hands But Ours. No Hands is an advocacy site for China’s special needs program, where we hope to share the real deal about adopting a special needs child. And it is very, very close to my heart. Y’all also probably know my good buddy, Tonggu Momma. Who just… Read More
eeeeeekkk!
I don’t know what else to say… WE GOT OUR LOAs! One GIANT step closer to our girls. For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like You, who works for those who wait for Him! Isaiah 64:4
