FOTO FRIDAY
OK... Foto Friday...
I am trying to get my Happy Back... So it dawned on me... Foto Friday... IS for BOTH MY KIDS!!!
Angelena is carring her small ball, trying to see around it! She loves this ball... I have more pictures of her with this ball, but they are in my camara still!
And the next picture is Angelo, when I went to see him at 7 weeks old. Not many people know Angelo was not feel very well when I went to see him, and he didn't sleep much. But when he did, I took AMPLE pictures.
I wish I could post more current pictures of Angelo, but my agency has been able to obtain updated one for me recently. So, the only real pic's I have are from when I went to see him, his newborn pics and his Doctor appoint the first week on Aug.
Now onto more news...
We still have not been resubmitted to PGN, we are waiting for the SWI (social worker interview) in Guatemala...
Something has been really bothering me... Granted some people just don't understand the "Guatemala Adoptions" and "3rd World Country" statistics, and they really don't know what to say... But it really hurts when you hear comments and you feel you have to defend and explain to people consitantly... Lately, I just don't feel like I have the energy anymore...
These are some of the comments:
Why does that lady keep having babies? (THIS ONE JUST PISSES ME OFF… Are people that ignorant… We are talking 3rd world country)
You know she has to be paid for having kids?
Are you sure Angelo is still coming home to you…Did they give him to someone else?
So you are not in PGN anymore? What is the reason today?
When is he coming home?
Is he ever going to come home?
Why are you putting yourself though this again?
Isn’t Angelena enough?
Just wait; you don’t know what it is like to have 2 kids…
So is he all grown up now?
Just think, by the time he gets home all you will have to deal with is college…
It’s said that you are missing the entire first with him…

My head is hurting now, so I am going to hung up!

Love the pictures!!
As for the comments. Screw them, people don't have a clue.
Hello!
I just wanted to send you a note to cheer you up. Your post made me sad. If someone hasn't been through the process, they will never really understand. Just BELIEVE. Angelo will come home and you will all be a family!
Hugs,

Ellie,
You are right that some people just don't understand. Isn't internet wonderful!! Look at all the friends we can have that truly do understand. Hang in there and have a good weekend.

Ellie,
I've been reading your blog for a while now. I have a 15 month old home from Guatemala since May. I'm pulling for you. I know what a rough stretch you've been going through. I must say that Angelena looks like one of the happiest children ever. :)

People are so stupid. I have heard all of those multiple times, plus a few other doozies. They all need to just SHADDUP!
What adorable pics!!
I am so sorry you are having to deal with stupid comments. Some people just don't get it.

I think the comments from people close to us probably bother us the most! It is ignorance, though...and that is not an insult to the commentors-they really just do not know and probably talk too much.
Your children are beautiful...love that big ball your dd is carrying around...too cute!
Best Wishes to you and your family,
Erin
Oh, ugh, ugh, ugh and more ugh! We got this a ton when we got Soo Hee's referral (bio sib of ellie and #3)... Not only all the Q's but stuff like "arent you being co-dependent in adopting and what if she has more"? I was like "may I now vomit on your shoes please?" Fortunately my stomach cooperated and I didnt have to embarrass us both but give me a break. I want to say to some folks " "please engage brain fully before speaking otherwise you'll fully embarrass self and I wont be responsible for my response!" :)
Andrew's Tol is on the 24th - around 4'ish.. I think it'll be fun altho not sure he will - he's just so cranky of late and can't figure it out... doing a trial of anti-reflux so we'll see....
Your sweetie is coming home - it's a matter of time. I KNOW that's no consolation and it sucks but I do truly believe he's coming home. He belongs with his family - you! He'll get there! Know that! Take care

I hate the questions! And your sweeties are beautiful!
