Kimberly -
I am so sorry you have waited so long and are still waiting - you are not a downer - you have every right to be bummed out and I can just imagine some days are even worse than others. It is hard to be strong and positive all the time and that is why we are here to help in any way we can - whether it is to commiserate or try and pick you back up. It just sucks - please know you guys are in my thoughts and prayers - I hope you hear something soon. Some how some way there is a reason for all of this you just have to trust at some point you will say you wouldn't change a thing!
Hugs
Karen

Kim, I am right with you. I started in August 2004 in Bulgaria. July 2005 switched to Kaz. Got my paperwork into the embassy the day they decided to return them all for new forms. So now, my INS is expiring, I have done multiple dossiers, been to Lansing over 20 times. I am bouncing back and forth between the Bulgarian special needs program and Kaz. And, on the same day last week, found out the the Bulgarian SN program and my Kaz dossier were delayed to a July travel at the earliest. That puts me at 2 years and counting. You figure if you are in 2 programs - one of them would progress BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know how to get out of the dumps. I just want you to know there are others with you. I am trying to emotionally distance myself from this whole crazy thing, but it is hard. It is affecting my work and my daughter. Hugs to you, and maybe a real good cry!

Kay
