We got word today from our coordinator that we did NOT make it to court this week. When we go to court there are 3 main people that have to show up: our coordinator over in Ghana, our attorney, and someone from social welfare. Now it's social welfare that couldn't show up so we are into next week. Hope for Tuesday or Thursday then.
My coordinator (we will call her Jane) does not know what is going on. From her: "We have NEVER taken so long to get to court!! I don't even know what to say anymore. I can make a lot of assumptions but that won't change things. I"m so sorry."
No news on the situation of our orphanage and its dissolution. Very curious to know what is happening. There is a little girl "Ashley" and her little brother who have not been placed into adoption yet. The unplaced kids are the ones who at the most risk, and they may be separated as they figure out foster care. Keep them in your prayers, we have faith our daughter will be fine.
Today I make iced tea with lemons to diverge from lemonade. We have a video with our daughter in it, and there is a flash of her on this link. She is the little girl in the blue and white dress paying no attention and bothering the boy in yellow who is trying to learn the alphabet. Not a great look at her face, but a nice reminder of her age and size. She should fit in nicely with this family. I keep remembering what 2 1/2 to 3 is like - really looking forward to the plane ride home! http://handsofmercy.shutterfly.com/514
We are also debating about name change to honor her transition into our family and her new life. We've found a name we really like (we're not sure she really had her current name before arriving at the orphanage.) We will share her name when we've figured it out.. we didn't name our first child until he was in the room with us so maybe that will have to happen this time as well.
I just want to again share how much I appreciate yoga and my yoga community. Without yoga in my life I am sure I'd be huddled in a corner somewhere, rocking back and fourth with worry. I am solid, and continue to breath in release and faith in this process. However she gets here and whatever she brings with her, we will be with her and be grateful for the ride. Santosha.
