WE HAVE A NEW COURT DATE!!!!

Mary T. called about 45 minutes ago -- we have a court date for this Friday, October 12th!!!!
Whew.......I'm taking a deeeeeeeeeeep breath.

Because our situation is unique, I am still holding my breath until we get through courts again and have an official adoption contract!!!!

Truthfully, I'm afraid to re-engage in making plans, repacking, etc. again until I know for sure that we made it through courts successfully. I just can not afford another emotional roller coaster ride. As it is, I've been on the verge of crying twice this week. I should just let myself go and cry my eyes outs, but I won't. Gotta be the grown-up. These past few months have been sooooo difficult trying to discern why this happened, knowing that no matter what the answer is, it will never totally satisfy my need to hold her in my arms now, and to mourn the loss of the two + months we lost with her. Maybe it's selfish, I don't know. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, but try to pretend they are not there. But they are real, and my heart aches, just aches to be her mommy.

Hi, just found your blog. Nice to see another "older" couple adopting! I have 2 grown children, my husband of 3 years has never had children.I've always wanted to adopt children,so this is wonderful! Hopefully we will be parents together soon!
