Probably like most months in our house, but even more so while trying to fundraise and complete adoption paperwork, and re-count how many days from LOA to Art. 5 to PDF to TA, etc, etc.
Marcus is never far from my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. We waited 6 weeks for an update on him, and finally got one. It had 6 statements, and no measurements or pictures :( I have to admit, while I was waiting for this abnormally long time, I was starting to worry that something was wrong.
I had also sent a letter from Ladybugs N Love, who I've used before, but haven't gotten anything back from there either. Maybe the orphanage is busy, at this point I'm just hoping that when I get to China, he already knows that he has a family who loves him and is waiting for him. That maybe, he has gotten the photo album that we sent , so he can preview what his new crazy family looks like.
One of the things that we were told in our sparse update, when asking about his health, was that he hasn't been hospitalized since February. Not why, how long, if it is related to his needs, nada! Makes this moms heart hurt for him. Soon, little man! You won't be alone any longer.
I did get TA this week, and yesterday booked tickets. It is finally really getting real. I'm the first to admit, how I always try during each of our adoptions to protect "my heart" I am leaving 10/10 and will be home on the 23rd. 10/10 was the day Rich and I started dating.
Time to finish up getting our last 2 fundraisers going. We are having a garage sale on Sat. 9/26 and I am going to spend this beautiful day getting all pictures uploaded for an auction I hope to have up by tomorrow night. We are so close.
