We got THE phone call at the end of last week. We leave to go spend 10 days in their country and finalize the adoption. We will be home by Easter. A blessed event at a blessed time of year.<p>Jenny, yes I did get your email. I'll respond this week. The adoption paperwork crap is still taking 20 hours a week of worktime hours. I can only get this stuff done when the notary, the secretary of state and our adoption agency is open, during the hours I need to be getting my job done. After all, I'm not on FMLA yet.<p>Thank you all of you for your support during this very, very trying time of my life--learning of Mr. J's affair and child and then a couple of months later losing the adoption of children we loved so dearly and then the hope of starting all over with a new agency to adopt the same boys. <p>MJ

Bon Voyage, Mary Janes!!! You must be walking on air and the excitment in your house must be burying the needle. I bet their rooms are ready with all kinds of wonderful clothes and accessories. I wonder how they are doing with their anticiplation of coming here? It must feel to them as if they are going on a wild and wonderful adventure with so much to look forward to. Can you just imagine their excitement?<p>I am so thrilled and excited for all of you, MJ. I am sending prayers of thanks and prayers that all will be a smooth transition. Congratulations to you and Mr. J for staying with this through the tough and scary times when most might have abandoned the process.<p>I can't think of anyone who deserves this blessing more than you do. <p>Really, really warm and wonderful wishes and thoughts.<p>Catnip =^^=

MaryJanes,
Congratulations I am so happy for you. When I read this all I could picture is those two sweethearts in the boat with you and
hubby and thinking all the great times you guys can have now. This time forever. I don't think I need to tell you but have a wonderful trip. This is just so exciting.
with love, flowerseed
