I will not be traveling to China with the December 6th group. No One will be traveling in that group. US Consulate was booked solid and the 5 families with TA were all denied an appt and postponed a week. And that's the families that have their TA. I got bumpkiss. I got shaft.
They added a 2nd group to December to help the families that were paper ready. This means there's still a December 13th group and now a December 20th group. In both scenarios I'd miss: the kids recital, Christmas..... and I'd be paying top dollar for high season tickets. Oh and let's talk about the random government office closures would could unexpectedly delay us a week or so -- while in Country. With a new child. Who will probably HATE me. and have horrible constipation. and we'll get some nasty fever, infection type thing and gross green snot will pour from every orifice.
So we decided the safest bet is to wait and travel with the Jan 3rd group. SUCKS!!1 fricken SUCKS big time. No Dylan for Christmas. No Dylan for us this year. My heart breaks. My heart aches. I hate this part. I hate it so much.
Shitty damn week. David floods the toilet and chaos ensues. He decides to experiment with a Bic Lighter and paper towels, more chaos... of a different nature. Parenting Styles }}}}}} CLASH {{{
SHIT HAPPENS.
not happy. pretty miserable. I want this baby girl here with me now. I hate that I'm secretly relieved i won't have to travel with only 2 days notice. I hate that I'm happy I'm not missing the recital and Christmas. rotten mother. bad bad bad.
misery loves company so I'm sharing my misery. see, bad person BAD.
Hang in there mama. You'll get there! Did all this happen because of the typhoon?
ReplyDeleteNo. there are just a lot of families trying to finalize their adoptions. there were 5 paper ready Holt families (my agency) and they were all denied an appt. they were able to get one the following week though, so that's good. Which means they're now on the 12/13 group.
ReplyDeleteYou are so not a bad person or mother! You were having a staggeringly rotten day. You are human and tender and precious and vulnerable and fragile.
