As rumors go...

We've all seen 'em...those lovely forwarded emails that have just enough truth to sound legit, but then you wonder...will Bill Gates actually send me $200 if I forward this email to ten of my nearest and dearest?  Yeah, so the most recent rumor had me a bit flummoxed.  I've had several reputable sources refute it now, but I'm still feeling a bit edgy.  I'm so close at this point that it is making me nervous.  So, I called my agency today.  And called and called and called.  This is after I emailed on three separate occasions over the last 2 weeks.  Nothing.  If they don't want to talk, they are very good about not talking.  That's very frustrating to me because I am in the process of submitting grants and many of them request a letter on official agency letterhead verifying that I am indeed adopting.  I guess the dropping $$ level in my accounts isn't proof enough.  Anyway, I still have no idea where my dossier is.  I was told it should have been back from SF within 2 weeks and that was several days ago, but no news yet.  I would feel so much better about things if I was logged in.

So, I'm feeling the stress today and then I check my email.  This is part of the email my Mom sent:

I will be so excited when we finally have our asian grandkids. Dad really wants a grandson. He already has plans for fishing with Duc.

Awww...thanks you guys!  It kind of keeps the dream alive, you know?  Last night Michael and I got a pizza and went to the park.  It was a beautiful afternoon/evening and there were a ton of kids there.  I'm looking forward to the day when my kids are here and we can all go to the park together.  I'll show them how to fly a kite, Michael will teach them to climb trees, my mom will show them how to swim (there is also a pool on site) and a co-worker has already mentioned that she wants to teach them how to ride a horse.  I wish I'd had it that good when I was a kid:-)
