I really think someone is trying to tell me something. I have had another one of those weeks of worrying about my time line with the adoption. I have had to remind myself that even though it took me a while to get my dossier together....with distractions, I am right on track as far as where my dossier is now. I submitted it in February, it sped through the translation, spent a little time at the NY Kaz embassy and it arrived at the MoFA in Kaz on April 28. Now I am just waiting to move on to the MOE and I hope that I will be one of the lucky ones who receives a match right away! We will see. I should wait to worry when I get to the MoFA.
So....again, watching TV, well actually cleaning my kitchen with the TV on.....I had to go to the TV and rewind to hear this again. This is what was said........Deja vu.....this is when....you are on path-you are right where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing......everything is exactly the way it is supposed to be.
How many times in this process have I heard this or been told this? I can't even tell you. So for now, I will listen and wait and continue looking for my Sam.

Lisa,
I can't tell you how many times I have felt excited, discouraged and/or nervous throughout this whole experience. I think that we all question our decisions at some point, its natural!! But I also think that things will move along at God's pace. He will get you to Kaz when the time is right. I have learned that I feel the best when I just take a deep breathe and relax. I know easier said than done, but its also great to talk to others going through the same thing. Feel free to email me sometime if you just feel like talking kerryregentin@yahoo.com! Love reading your blog, keep posting.
After Sam is home, it will all make sense. I was so eager to get Sarah home and was discouraged every step of the way. But the delays proved useful~ we were able to move into our new house and get somewhat settled before bringing her home. Perfect timing.

Hi Lisa,
My horoscope today said something along the lines of, "Worrying is of no use, just accept." Things are kind of tough at work right now, so I've had a lot on my mind. Reading that was like a slap in the face. I can worry all I want, but it's going to change nothing and serve no purpose other than to make me go nuts!! That idea would serve us all well as we go through the adoption process too!
HI LIsa,
You know my history too and the worries and questioning that I have also gone through--it's great to know that we are going throught similiar things and can calm each other when we need it.
If the wait had been different, I may not have been here when my Dad needed me--who knows, we just have to trust that God's plan is smarter than ours and he will come through for us.
Are you a pilot? You said that you stayed near the Meadowlands when you first started flying? In NJ, you are not allowed to pump your own gas. I've always lived in NY, where you can, and many people in NY think it's annoying to not be allowed to do so in NJ. Now, I'm so used to having someone else do it, that I was annoyed that I had to get out of the car...plus, it's was early in the morning before my class and I was tired!!
I have been keeping up with your blog and have experienced alot of what you are going through. When we signed up with CHI the Kaz program was a short wait but now that has changed but that seems to be the nature of international adoption and I think things will happen when the time is right. We still get so excited at every little step. I am thinking about you and hoping that things move quickly!
Hi Lisa
I had followed your blog for awhile and then somehow it was either private or I was not using the right link. Anyway I am glad I found your blog again.
I can relate to the wait, but I just keep reminding myself there is a reason for the wait, for we would not meet OUR children if we did not wait. NOt that it makes the waiting easier but I like to find the sunshine through the clouds.
Hang in there and once you meet Sam all this waiting will have been for a really good reason.
