Life on hold....

This is how I'm feeling today!

First, I'm tired of coughing, having pulled a muscle in my back from coughing so much.

Second, I just found out today that we can not update our home study until we are fully residing in Ontario.  This means, until we get moved our adoption is completely on HOLD.

Not a great feeling...AT ALL.

The way I thought it was going to happen was that we'd get our home study updated, our file all up-to-date and have our dossier (our pkg of information) all ready to go to Vietnam upon our arrival in Ontario.  This way, from the moment we arrived in Ontario we'd be on the official waiting list (I think I have this right??).  Having a (possible) couple year wait from this date - possibly less considering we are on the special needs list.

NOW...we will have to start all of our file ONCE we move (which at best will happen in the summer months of 2011, at worst Sept 2011) - which means that we will wait and CAN do nothing for 8-11 months :(  Frustrating, to say the least.

I feel a little defeated right about now.  I KNOW I am NOT defeated, just ON HOLD.  I know much of this feeling probably comes from being under the weather and I just DON'T sit still very well.  I have a hard time taking care of me. 

So, the newest news in our adoption is that we must WAIT, even longer than originally anticipated :(
