glimmer

News from our dear facilitator today.

Emerson's paperwork was released from the Ministry back to the Center last Thursday. The Center expects to have the last step - where we are chosen as her family - done by the end of the week!

We might actually have a travel date soon.

A part of me is afraid to latch on to any glimmer of hope, knowing how many times before I've stuck my foot in that fire. But how can I help myself?

Maybe I will get my sweet girl after all. :)

a heartbeat

I'm nearing 10 weeks and tonight managed to catch baby's heartbeat long enough to get a read-out - 150 bpm! :) Lower than Dawson's and Macy's, more around Parker's, maybe he or she will also share Parker's relatively subdued temperament ... I can dream anyways LOL!

I have no clue what's going on in Serbia right now, I was a little unsettled to get an email today from another family pursuing an adoption there asking me about my experience with the last adoption shut-down. Yes, the LAST one. As in, they have been told adoptions have been shut down again. I am not sure if there is some new development I'm not yet aware of (and I'm checking into that) or if it's still the same unofficial shut-down because of this one person's motives.
