In Limbo

Being in limbo pretty much stinks. I am grateful that we do not have to fight for Collin, but many of you do not know what we went through in the beginning to bring him home. There were reasons we did not get him till he was 5 weeks, and what we have gone through to get him/keep him is pretty hard. Jumping through hoops is something I am not very good at. I am not sure when we will get to go to court. I know we will see our day, but it probably will not be in the time that we want. That said, this blog is for me to vent. I realize that we are not this amazing family, fighting a birth-father for their rights on their one year old (link over and read the words of this adoption giant, and look at her adorable Etsy store, where the proceeds of your purchase go to help with the legal cost of adoption for their little family!) but everyone has things they go through. We have been through Hell to say the least, and I simply am just asking for something to go as planned, something to be somewhat easy for once. I do not think that is too much to ask. I am so happy that we have awesome friends and family that realize we are not in control. We may even wait to have Collin sealed to us till November, when our amazing friends and family can be there. A lot of unknowns, and a lot of just going with the flow and realizing it is out of our hands. And I am okay with that. I know there is nothing we can do, so we are simply going to be happy and enjoy the days. Plus, when you are turning 26, how can you not be happy? Birthdays are awesome!
