Oh jumpingfroggy,
I'm so sorry.

Sadly, after living in Kaz for three months I'm not surprised this happen (the rescheduling) but I was sooo hoping it wouldn't.

Praying still.

Thank you all so much. I haven't heard anything one way or another. Hopefully I'll hear something today, but I'm not holding my breath. I think if things went well I would have heard by now, so I am expecting another delay of some sort.

I am so sorry that you have been going through all of this. I hope that your child will be coming home with you soon.

Well, it's official. There has been another delay. I feel badly for the kids involved. The child I am adopting is 10 years old. It's not like she is oblivious to what is happening. She has had so many people let her down in her life and abandon her, that I hope I don't turn out to be just another in her long list of disappointments. I also have a biodaughter at home who started preparing to share a room after I returned from Kaz. She keeps asking when her new sister is going to get here. I've been honest that when/if the adoption goes through is up to the judges, but I feel horrible everytime she asks.

Oh I'm soooo sorry for the delay and the children involved as well.

I know the waiting has to be incredibly difficult to say the least.

Will keep thinking and praying for you all!

It has been almost 2 weeks-any new news? I don't want to bug you or to bring it up, but I do want you to know I am still praying for you and your child!

Thank you. From what I am hearing it's delays, court, and more delays . I understand there is another court date next week. If I am interpreting the information correctly, the issues with mistranslation of my documents have been resolved, but they are arguing over the child's file and if she should really be considered eligible for adoption. You would think they would determine this before the bonding period . My mother always told me not to pray for patience, because God won't give it to you, he'll teach it to you. I must have forgotten this somewhere along the way, but I'm learning.

I don't blame you for being upset! Your right-they should have made sure of her eligibility before now! That poor girl and poor you :-( I will keep praying for a quick resolution to this.

Well, It looks like I'm going back. I am still not quite sure what's been going on, but I have to redo the original court with a new judge. It's as if the original court and appeal never happened.

Wish me luck.

I haven't been around in a while so I was so happy to see an update.

Thinking and praying for you and the kiddo you are hoping to adopt.

A new court date hopefully is a positive sign, although frustrating I'm sure!

Best of luck!!
