Imagine

Imagine being in the midst of the adoption process, the emotion and fatigue involved in collecting all of the tedious and time-consuming documents, being interviewed by a social worker who examines your house room by room, being poked by a doctor for tests on syphyllis, TB and all kinds of awful things. Imagine the excitement you still have, that carries you through each day, knowing that at the end of all of this, all of this, you will have a child. One that you are certain was meant for your family all along.

Now read the latest entry in the Adoption News category (to the left). The process has halted, really halted, for now, while one government agency shuts down and the other one prepares to begin. We knew this was coming, we just didn't know it would be so abrupt. What about the families in Ukraine right now? What about the families with appointments in January? We hope the US Embassy has enough influence on the Ukraine government to make a difference. After all, it's really for the good of the children. Isn't it?

Have you heard from any familes stranded over there, partway through an adoption procedure? This has got to be pure hell for folks who are stuck in the middle. I pray they stay strong, determined, and patient.
