Mark had to work over today, even though he traded his scheduled overtime to someone else, so we had to rush around to get to Lifebuilders tonight. We didn't even have time to check email before we left. So we were really excited to see a message in our inbox from Kay. Basically the email said that Milena, the attorney from Vesta, had met with the new Vice Minister of Justice who is in charge of adoptions. She felt that this director is even more adoption-friendly than the last, that the new council members have been chosen and that the first meeting of the International Adoption Council (IAC) should be meeting next week. The best news is that Milena has been invited to attend the meeting. Basically, this means that the new governmental officials should cooperate to get our adoption completed.
Every day we race home to check email...Maybe we will get notification of our court date. So even though it wasn't the news we were hoping for, we were glad to hear something. Mark joked around during small group that he might have to live in an apartment for a while if we don't have a court date by our next small group meeting on October 20...Yes, I have been a little irritable during the past couple of weeks. Between the stress of parent/teacher conferences and this waiting...I've been a "tiny bit" grouchy. I might just have to go to Bulgaria, call the MOJ meeting to order, put my hand on the stamper, and help them approve our documents...Deep breath, more praying, deep breath, sigh...It isn't the waiting as much as not knowing what is going on that I find so annoying.
You might even have to give him the "teacher look."
ReplyDeleteIf the "teacher look" would do the trick, I would definitely try that, too.
