No longer lost!

In translation that is:) We just got the news that we are officially out of translation, now we are just waiting to get assigned our all imporant number!

Our entire agency just spent a week in Vietnam working on their humanitarian projects. They took a group of all sorts of specialists over to help train caretakers in caring for special needs children. I hope they come back with LOTS of good news, everyone in our agency family sure could use some right about now!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday! I am in Washington right now, I'm here to pick up Jake finally! Here is a recent pic of my handsome little devil;)

I am feeling like the gecko...

My Mom took this picture a few days ago, right outside my front door. I have been thinking about that tiny gecko trying to catch that huge moth ever since... I think because I can relate to him in more than one way-
First off, the task in front of him is pretty much impossible. He is so hungry for something he just can't get. I hate to be negative, but this adoption has been feeling that way to me lately. I feel totally helpless, our paperwork is there in Vietnam, but we are lost in translation for who knows how long. I am trying to stay upbeat, but sometimes it is just too hard.
In a more positive way, the gecko is obviously a big dreamer. I dream of Jasey all the time, and it warms my heart. I know once this is all said and done it will all be worth it, my dream will have come true, our baby girl will be home, and the wait and turmoil will be forgotten.
Can't blame the little guy for trying!

Hahahahahaha!
