SERIOUSLY?

I really just can't believe it, but we have been delayed again. This time we don't even know for how long. Ethiopia has added another step to go through in order to be approved for court. The additional step ensures that any birth mother who surrendered her baby was not coerced in any way. In all honesty, I am thankful for that. But from our perspective, we are just sick. We will pray for a miracle, but we most likely will not have our sweet Elias home for Christmas.

Jana, just got the link to your blog this a.m. from Rob. I'm glad I'm more in touch now with what you have been going through. I had no idea. My thoughts and prayers are with you. From your humor and sweet smile I would never know what you have been going through. I myself was adopted at birth by a wonderful family. To know your son is so loved by you is such a wonderful testament to adoption. I hope to meet him some day soon.

Take care,Teresa
