We are right there with you. I NEVER thought we would not have her home by now.
I know how you feel about the other kids. It breaks my heart to keep telling Jay that she isn't going to make it after all. I actually got her Christmas dress and his matching outfit out of the closet yesterday and told myself I need to return them. Their Christmas picture was actually scheduled for noon today. I made appt. back in October hoping she would be here. Jay said he didn't want to get picture without her, and he is waiting for "Sissy" to come home to get a Christmas picture. He will be 7 in Feb., but I didn't even have the mental strength to insist that we get the photo done without her. I will take something in front of the tree. Someone posted a cute photo of 2 little boys holding a 8x10 of their baby sister and I think we might blow up our favorite picture of Emma and have Jay hold it in front of the tree. I can't believe this could actually actually drag out for months. ARGH!
OK, I am done being Debby Downer now.
The above poster had a point about the foster family only getting 1 Chirstmas with their child and us having hopefully many. My foster mom actually told me that Christmas was a hard time for her since her son passed away 2 years ago. She did not give me any other details. Maybe this is God's way of comforting her this Christmas. He knows we have Jay.
