Do you know we were actually supposed to leave today?
And then we were rescheduled to leave Friday?
But for now, as I type this, with my bags ready by the door and me more ready than I have ever been, I sit and wait. And, since news this morning, will now likely wait for an indeterminate time. The path to our son has not been clearly delineated and while I feel deflated physically and mentally to have had such advanced adrenaline coursing through my veins for a few weeks and then for it to whoosh out of me, I do very very much know that this is part of the blind adoption process and I do very very much know that each step does bring us closer to our soon to be baby brother. I do feel relieved to have more relaxed time with my children, and time to wait in the comfort of my home while the path to Baby Boy becomes more clear, to sleep in my own bed, as I know this luxury is not often the case. In other instances, I would be waiting in a hotel on the other side of the big blue marble for Baby Boy Karp to make his presence known.
Even Gary said “You’re kidding? I was actually ready to go.”
Little one, we’re ready to leave at a moments notice to come to be united with you! Hang tight just a little while longer!! The best is yet to come.
Love,
Mommy
hang in there…
hang in there…
I got the call 24 hours before I was getting on the plane too and as hard as it was, she was worth the wait. And like you said, it's better to wait in the comfort of your own home than in a hotel or apartment somewhere in Kaz. So enjoy what I hope will just be the last few DAYS at home as a family of 4 and know that your son will be happy to see you whenever you get there.
Take care of each other,
Lou Ann & Lexie from Aktau Kaz

thinking of you…. I also had a deflating moment today. This IA journey is not for the weak. Hang in there!

Everything will happen at the right time!

Oh, that horrible 'Hurry up and Wait' syndrome. At least everything is done and you've found the positive side to the situation. Now you can enjoy some wonderful family time before you really go.
Keep us posted.

I'm sorry you feel deflated and disappointed, though I think your outlook on the situation is perfect.
Maybe tomorrow you'll get the call that they want you to come just one day later so we can fly into Kaz together. Now wouldn't THAT be amazing?

I just read this and agree with everyone else – it'll be well worth the wait. But yes, what a pain in the butt to be just so close and then told to wait once more!
It's all so exciting.
🙂
we will see you all upon your return for sure! 🙂

So sorry for the letdown. Take some deep breaths and stay strong! You'll be there before you know it!
