The last few months of our adoption have been turbulent to say the least. Bad news after Bad news fell upon us like English rain. All day, all night, every day. Recently we were at the bring of total despair and almost ready to give up. But then the impossible happened... Where a door was shut a window opened.
At last, a ray of new hope entered our lives. We found a way to finish our dossier without the missing FBI clearance (a document which proved impossible to get)
As of this moment our dossier is off for translation! In a matter of days it will be done. Then back to us here in the UK where we will finish the details of Certification and legalization. Then off to Kyrgyzstan.
And I must add a touch of serendipity to the story... There may be a TINY chance that we can already be matched with a, minor special needs, baby Asian boy. There are details to consider and insure before making any happy proclamations...most importantly if he is still available or not!
Most of these details I may not choose to blog... not at least until things are more "official". And even then, we have been through the ringer lately and although I want to remain positive... we must remain calm and cautious.
(secretly I am praying that this special child will be OUR child and that there is actually light at the end of this tunnel! I'm doing a little happy Chandler dance now that no one is looking... )
