One week left

Five work days in this week ahead.
Five business days to submit paperwork . . . or, at least, that's how I assume it works there just like it does here.
Then again . . .
someone raised an interesting point this past week:
Are we SURE this whole September 15th submission date is legitimate?
Hmmmm.
Nice to think it could be rumor, but better to act on it as fact.

I fluctuate between heart ache and fear over losing more time to be a family with Dimitry, but I also have to admit that there is a positive side to this --

If we move our file to an agency, we will actually be working with someone who cares about orphans in Haiti. Wow, that will be refreshing.
We also might be eligible for grants to assist us in this costly process.
That would be totally cool.

How many more trips?
How many more months, or worse yet, years??
How many more hurricane seasons and natural disasters and birthdays and Christmases?

So many unknowns.
So much to worry about.
So much to let go of and let God handle.

Whew. It's hard to be strong this long.

It's even harder to be an orphan.
