And the Wait Goes On- or was that supposed to be Beat Goes On

We continue waiting: updating documents as needed. Our dossier may not go to the DC embassy until Jan. I pray that is worst case scenario and that through some miracle it will be much sooner.

I was thinking Dec/Jan for ours and then two were submitted last week so amongst hurricane prep, I had to run off and mail updates to Adoption Ark! I think we're now 3 or 4 in the pile to be submitted.

Stay positive, just when I think things aren't moving I find out something new and I have moved either a lot or a little- hang in there!
