Sorry for those who are my friends on Facebook...you get the updates twice. Today's latest is that I got an email from our agency saying that our documents did not arrive in Ecuador until yesterday afternoon (Tuesday), so the committee thought that was too much of a "time crunch" to get them ready for Thursday's meeting. I'm not sure exactly what that means because the two documents just need to put in the binder with the other documents, as far as I know. Anyway, that is neither here nor there...just my frustrations speaking. So, the meeting has been postponed until Monday to give them plenty of time to get them ready. Ugh.
Just don't ask me how I took this news. I am not doing so hot with the continual delays and disappointments, as I am sure you have figured. People are probably going to start thinking I am mentally unstable. :) Don't worry, I am not there...YET. Let's just say this process is not for the weak or faint of heart!
We are also re-posting the Paypal link. We had such an overwhelming response last time it was up. It was so amazing and we were so touched and feel so blessed to have such great family and friends. I do feel somewhat guilty putting it back up, but the truth is that we still have a lot of travel costs to cover. Flights alone are going to run at least a few thousand dollars and housing for 8 weeks is going to be costly as well. We are saving everything we can, but there have also been some people who have asked if they can still donate. So, here it is. If anyone has any Frequent Flier Mileage they would be willing to donate, that would also be a huge help to us. {Disclaimer: Please do not feel obligated to donate. We realize that not everyone is in a position to do so. Your prayers and kind words are just as meaningful to us.}
Thank you all for your kindness, thoughts, and support through this process. We need lots and lots of prayers for Monday. It has to be Monday... If not, someone please reserve me a spot in the loony bin.

Oh Kim, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this frustrating and uncertain time! I hope and pray that things will go smoothly for you from here on out. I can't imagine dealing with the delays you guys have through this whole process and I'm sure you are just anxious to have that sweet little girl in your arms. One thing I know for certain is that God's timing is SO hard to wait for, but always works out in the end... not that it makes it any easier while you have to wait. ;) I appreciate you sharing your journey with us all. I can't wait for your family to finally be all together!! You'll continue to be in my prayers.
xo.
Hilary
