Girl's night out

Tonight the women of the family are taking my SIL out to dinner. I do NOT want to go but can't very well be selfsh :) . I'd much rather sit home in my jammies and wallow in self pity. It's getting harder and harder every day to go to work and just function normally when everything with the adoption is so up in the air. Not having any idea when we will travel is very stressful and makes the normal everyday things that I do seem like it's a huge deal. Yes, this post is self absorbed pity piva. I'm afraid to take on new projects at work because I don't know if I'll be able to see them through but at the same time, I don't want to pass up any opportunities either ! URGH

Hi Jackie,
You're not being self absorbed in a bad way. What you're going through is what most Ukrainian adoptive PAP's go through. I know we have and are going through the same thoughts ourselves. It's hard to plan on the unknown.
We're hoping that if there was a paperwork problem that you would have heard from your facilitator by now. We'll keep you in our thoughts that everything goes smoothly.

Hi. I just found your blog. Have you been submitted yet? Our dossier is being translated right now, so we aren't too far behind you. :) Having been through a previous international adoption, I can tell you the waiting game is the pits. Hey, at least you are not alone. ;)

My husband and I are also waiting. We are pre-registered and waiting for our turn to come up for submission of our complete dossier. We have everything done and ready to go. Hang in there -- we know exactly how you feel!
