| Getting closer |
| Saturday, October 27, 2007 |
So we have heard that another family who had traveled about three weeks before us for their first trip have just gotten their court date and will be heading back next week. Yep, it seems that a one week's notice before you have to be in Russia is now the norm.
However, this is great news since it really sounds like things are moving in our region and we are hopeful (crossing my fingers right now) that we won't have to redo any paperwork and that our court date comes through in about three weeks time.
The strange thing is that both Stefanie and I have been having a very difficult time sleeping. All of the sudden we are now realizing that this nearly 17 month journey (more like 14 year journey to have a kid) is nearly finished. And that a little one is nearly upon us. And that is freaking us out.
We were having tremendous anxiety for the past year and a half because we really wanted to finally get our child. Now we're having tremendous anxiety because in a few weeks we are finally going to be getting our child.
Life is funny. |

I hope you get a court date very soon!

The freak out stage is normal and it's great to hear you being honest about it. Sometimes I felt like because we were adopting that folks didn't understand that we go through the same stages and emotions as a bio -pregnancy goes through.

The not-sleeping is just preparation for when you get your little one. It took both of my boys awhile before they were sleeping through the night.
I hope you get a court date soon!

Prayers you get your court date soon, sounds like it is just around the corner. I think the insomnia thing is common at this stage of the game! I think I was pretty much running on adrenaline prior to our court date:)

You are both completely normal in this freak out phase. Has it only just begun? We went through it several times throughout the wait.
Oh but when he's home, after a couple months, you'll forget what life was even like before!
It sounds like it will be soon! Maybe a Thanksgiving court date??

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
