A few days before labor day, we were packing for our trip to Bear Lake with my family for the Labor Day weekend. Branden said he felt like there was something we needed to do at home that weekend but wasn't sure what it was. I got mad at first because I thought he was jsut trying to get out of haning our with my family, but we talked about it and I realized he really felt like there was something we needed to do. So, we decided to continue on with our plans ans just leave a day later and see if anything came up. Things went smoothly for the next few days and we got all of our chores done before we left. As we closed the garage door, our adoption case worker called and said she needed to set up an interview since she was just assigned as our caseworker. She said she could set up an appointment about a month out, & I was in tears because I just felt like this was yet another adoption delay in the LONG PAINFUL process! But she said that she had a last minute openning and if we could be there in 10 minutes, we could meet with her!!! On the way to the agency, Branden and I felt so relieved that "that thing" we needed to do was fianally revealed after we had been worrying about it for days! We went to our meeting (found out they lost a ton of our stuff, of course) and then went to Bear Lake and had a great time.
Since then, I have started working on the million questions we have to answer for our adoption stuff and have been stressing about it. My boss and his wife just started turning in adoption papers for their second adoption about 2 weeks ago (through a different agency), so I was kind-of looking forward to talking to him about my adoption woes at work on Monday. Well, when I got to work, there was an email from my boss saying that unexpectedly his caseworker had called and he and his wife were on a plane to pick up a baby girl. It was so hard to be excited for them since I was having a hard time with our adoption process and it only took them 2 WEEKS from beginning to end! Needless to say, this week has been emotionally draining for me.
So, the past 2 weeks has been filled with Adoption drama. And on top of it all, I can't think of a good adoption blog name. Any suggestions? Here's the criteria:
1. Can't have our names in it because no one will ever spell them right (and therefore, will never get to our blog Brandenandmelaneeadopt won't work :) )
2. Can't use our Last Name
3. I want it to be clear from the name that it is an adoption blog (my friend Lisa suggested some cute ones, but do you think it is clear enough that it's an adoption blog: missingonlymesses and justaddbaby)
SOMEBODY HELP!!
