FRIDAY'S IN THE ADOPTION WORLD
My whole life, I always looked forward to Friday's, as I am sure everyone does. But here in the adoption world, you dreed Fridays. Why you ask?
This is my theory of the life of a Case File for Adoption In Guatemala...
1) Its Friday Night, Your case is sitting in a office on someones desk that is not looking at it for 2 days.
2) Knowing that the next time someone is going to look at is MONDAY.
3) As I said above..... IT IS MONDAY
4) Tuesday rolls around and the person has to remember what they were doing with you case last week...
5) Wednesday, they realize, ok, I need to do this with the file. Opps, its lunch time.
6) Thursday, Oh ya, the file, I forgot, cause I took an extended lunch on Wednesday.
7) Ok, now where was I.... Well, it is Thurday Night, and I can't get anything done till after the weekend...
8) Friday Morning.... This file can wait till Monday, I am tired and have work all week...
Next step, see #1
So you see... We all have hope in the begining of the week, then as the week lingers towards the end of the week, all hope is lost.
I know, everyone is telling me to be postive, and I am trying, but, I just need to have my Daughter Home...

YOu put into word how I feel every week. We've been in PGN 9 weeks, and some days I feel I might go crazy from the wait. I've been following your blog for a few months. I hope you get out of PGN real soon.
Just poppin' in, Ellie. Is your baby girl GORGEOUS or what?? You are so right about Fridays and adoption. *sigh*
I hope that you will have a good weekend and that Monday will come quickly. God bless.
Here's hoping you get out of PGN soon!!! I know how excruciating the wait is!
