I'll admit I have no desire to blog or read blogs these days. My adoption currently resides in the crapper. Things I had to do didn't get done because I was unaware. My own fault, but still. My adoption is on hold. My agency is no more; we've been shifted. I don't really understand. I started this over three years ago. Thought it would be done two and a half years ago. Still, no girl.
Daughterless mam,
sisterless boy. We pray for her, but it hurts my heart. I bought her a beautiful doll that arrived last week. It made me cry to see it sit in her crib. Will she ever hold it? I'm unconvinced that things will work out. I'm quitting my job at the end of the school year, but have nothing to go to. I get paid through the summer, and so am padded while I look for work. Risky? Maybe. But I can't handle being so far from people I love. So isolated: an island in this community. Will they (agency/ courts) reject me if I am looking for work? Probably. But for three years life has been on hold. I can't stand it any longer. I never thought I'd reach these depths. I thought I was strong and tough and could roll with the punches. But I'm overflowing with
brokenness right now. Broken.

HI Melissa,
I am so sorry to read your words and can feel the pain.
It is so very hard having a life on hold and your heart being caught in the middle.
I hope that some good news comes your way or some paper work magic can arrive at your doorstep.
Sending you great thought and hugs for these hard times. I do hope you can post now and then as I will be thinking of you

Oh jeez, this all sucks the big one!
Don't give up hope for your daughter.
Re: your job. I know how it feels to be jobless - I'm currently looking for a new permanent position. Like you, I have a few months $$ to cover me. It's scary (and I'm not planning on moving) but just think of the exciting new beginning you will have.
I wish I knew what to say to make you feel even a wee bit better. There is so much waiting and so much pain involved in this journey. I hope for you that it all works out in the end.

Each and every one of us has a specific task in the world where we can reveal the most Light. We’re not all supposed to be teachers or masters. Sometimes we are in the exact spot we need to be. We don’t have to run and try to find that place. Sometimes right where we are is our own little Garden of Eden.
I truly believe we are where we are meant to be at this exact moment. Have faith ,,, You will hold your daughter in your arms one day... and you will know exactly why the journey was so long...do not give up .. be strong.. lots of love hope and prayers to you from me <3
Melissa,
It's your turn to update... What's been going on?
Janice
You have been in my thoughts.
