I never dreamed I would use a frowny face in a title, but if ever there was a day, this is the day.
An almost meaningless piece of paper from MOWCYA was missing and we weren't submitted today. The truly infuriating part is that it took our agency hours to relay the information. We're so angry, there just isn't much that we can say about this at all today except that we are really, really angry.
We know so many people are watching us, maybe thinking that they'll want to adopt someday too, and we know that our story is not encouraging. Ours is like the worst-case scenario that you hear rumors about when you start an adoption. Like there is a textbook out there somewhere with our picture in it and it says, BEWARE adoption can go like this.
And we know that when we get bad news, it doesn't just affect us. It affects River, our families, and lest we forget... the nine month old baby still sitting in the transition home without parents.
It feels like a lot of weight to carry when nothing is going right.
But I guess what we want everyone to know is that this does suck right now. We are angry. We are so incredibly sad. We are. We're not going to pretend like we're not. But it is worth it. She is worth all of this. If we have to feel this way, I'm glad we're doing it for her.
Whatever has happened to us, we're going to be ready for her when she comes home. We'll be ready to handle whatever she throws at us. Because we'll know what we went through to get to her and we'll know what she's been through to get to us.
