Just heard from our agency

They want a little more paperwork. Why this wasn't mentioned before is beyond me. If we can get it in the next couple of days, it should only be a week after that...so maybe two more weeks? 

I want to go home DH is on top of some of the paperwork and I'm handling the rest that I can do here. We will have been apart for about a month and a half. We are talking about him flying here in a week and flying home with me.

Ugh! How frustrating! I hope this is it for you guys and you can go home soon.

[janiejones]

Two more weeks sounds promising! I'm crossing my fingers the paper work is easy and then you're allowed to go home.

I cried for a few minutes. I told the agency I wanted to know of any paperwork they could possibly need. He was sympathetic and said part of the hold up is on the lawyer. The lawyer said he does adoptions, but after we hired and paid him, we found out that he doesn't really do many and is basically clueless.

Wine will be had tonight.

That sounds really frustrating! Hopefully they get the paperwork done and your DH can visit and then travel home with you.

I love hearing your updates! We have been home study approved for about a month and are on a waiting list to get into our agency's profile book.

I'm sorry

I really hope your H is able to come out. I think that will make things a million times easier for you.

[noodle]

Hugs! I hope it flies by.

Ugh. I hope everything gets worked out quickly and you can be home with your H soon. I can't even imagine how hard it must be on you and him being apart right now. (hugs)

[luckyval]

I can't imagine how frustrating this is for you.

But this will pass! And you will have your baby home soon!!

(((hug)))

((hugs)) I hope your DH can fly out to help you fly home. 

And I'm angry at your lawyer for you. That's not ok.

Oh wow, more waiting I think its a good idea for your H to fly and see you guys.

He has seen Rosie, right?

No

Originally we were told 2 weeks. We thought "two weeks, no big". Then we kept being told "any day". So it was decided that he'd stay home to keep working and save his paternity time. We also didn't want to spend $400 on a plane ticket for him to get here and told we could go home a day or two later. I'm at the point where I'm fine flying with her alone. 

Now it's different. We are trying to figure out how to get him here. I want him here. The problem is that he can't stay more than maybe 3 or 4 days and we don't have a for sure date. It would suck for him to be here, have to leave, and then baby and I follow a few days later. It hurts and sucks that we would be looking at a month and a half of being apart, but at this point, what's two more weeks?

We just can't decide what's the best thing to do. I've had a lot of expenses here and we've had to spend more money for me being here than planned. It's money that we could scrape together, but that we don't really have, because I still have to buy my return ticket, plus plan for two more weeks of expenses.

I'm sorry, that is so frustrating
