Happy Mother's Day. It's a reminder to me of how long I waited and how much work it took for me to become a mother. For as long as I remember it's all I wanted to do with my life. I am reminded today of how blessed I am to have my amazing kids. I am also sad today to be missing one of my kids. I should have been spending this Mother's Day in Ethiopia, picking up my new son. Due to an error in my paperwork and an oversight regarding my immigration approval expiration date I have been delayed. I was given another date (may 25th) for an embassy appointment, but was told not to book my flight until we have the immigration approval. As of Friday we still did not have everything turned into to Immigration for them to work on the approval. Apparently the FBI has not processed our required background check update. My case worker is doing everything she can to get this done quickly, but once again I find myself waiting on things that are out of my control.
I think of Elijah's birth mom today. I can't help but wonder what she is thinking and feeling. I can't help but hurt for her today.
Hoping for good news this week, bags are packed and I'm ready to go get my son.
