waiting

Ok, so it has only been 25 days since INS received our completed homestudy and I am getting anxious. I know it can range from 6 to 8 weeks before we receive approval so I quess we are in week, what 4 ? I was told that the waiting was hard, I kind of blew it aside not really believing them. I am also pretty prideful and figured that I could take it. Oh how wrong I was. So here I am in week 4 going a little looney. HEE HEE... To top this stuff off we get an email from our case manager (you know the one that Brad loved so much) she is going on maternity leave. I don't know if it is better to get approval before she leaves on maternity leave or when her substitute takes over?? Hmm oh well, it is what it is...I do want to give a shout out to my blogger friend Deanna. She and her hubby Alex just got matched. Her baby boy is due in Oct. I am so happy for them. Take a look at her site Adoption Ramblings and give her some words of encouragement.
