So We Pray and Pray...

Blogging is one of those funny things... the longer you stay away from it, the easier it gets to stay away from it.  I really can't believe it has been 2 months since I posted anything.  And when I started this whole blog journey, I decided then and there that I would NEVER feel a pressure to blog.  The entire reason we started this blog was to chronicle our journey to little Kervens.  I want him to have this snippet of our lives, and his life (unfortunately lived out in two different countries for the time being), tucked away someday.  I want him to know how excited we were about him, even before we got to hold him every day and every night.

So, here is the most recent news on his adoption.  It's never straightforward, is it?  Basically, the birthmother and birthfather still need to come in for the final social history interview.  We were told that was going to happen two weeks ago on a Saturday.  So, we prayed and prayed.

Birthmother showed up, waited for social worker, left.

Birthfather never showed.

Two days later, scheduled meeting again.  So we prayed and prayed.

Social worker never showed up.

Three days later, scheduled meeting again.  So we prayed and prayed.

Social worker never showed up.

Two days later, interviewed a new social worker to hire.  So we pray and pray....

And here we are.  Just three days from heading down to Maison.   This much we do know.

We will have our Embassy appointment.  We might have our court appointment.  And we will get to hold and tickle and rock and chase and feed and kiss and surprise and dance with and snuggle with our son in Haiti for five days.

Can't wait!
