Feeling Behind

I was doing so good. I was relaxed. I knew this process was going to take a while. I was prepared for months of waiting.
Well, guess what? This week I found out that as soon as I get my passport, we can order our visas. But I have to have my passport first.
When I ordered my passport, at the end of January, I chose not to pay extra for expedited processing. I knew that we weren't going to be traveling until at least June. Right? So, what's the hurry. Why spend the extra money?
That's all changed now, isn't it? That darn passport can't get here soon enough!
Of course, just as soon as I get it, I have to wait again. Six weeks to process our visas.
But you know what?
At the end of that six weeks is our first visit with our little boy. I feel like I can almost start counting down the days until I see him. I've been dreaming about him again. I've been thinking of what it will be like to see him for the first time. I've been thinking of all the things we can do together once we get him home.
Praying my passport arrives SOON!!

Rochelle,
I know! I thought I knew what to expect based on what I had read, but that was all for another country. SO different for us!
