Still Not Ours Yet

Well, We have been here almost 2 weeks and we have not had the Giving and Receiving Ceremony yet. We were supposed to have it last Thursday, but the orphanage director was in a meeting and could not make it. Then we were supposed to have it Friday at 10:00 AM - but again the orphanage director had meetings. So - we moved it to 4:00, agian - meetings!!! So we have spent the last 2 days sitting in our hotel room dressed and ready to go! Needless to say - we are beyond frustrated!!!! We hope that this won't put us back from going to Hanoi on Nov. 20th.

Brenden is fighting a chest cold and is teething badly! We have been in the room today hoping this will help him feel better. For the past 2 days - he has only wanted me to hold him. If I put him down he screams. It has been pretty rough! I am going stir crazy in this room!! I am hoping he feels better tomorrow. Sitting in our room has really gotten to my husband and me! We are hoping to get out at least for a little while tomorrow!

We are hoping to go the Mekong Delta tomorrow - but we will see. I would hate to leave here and not really be able to see all the wonderful sights. With everything that has gone on here (some things I should not mention) I am not sure if we will adopt from here again. We might choose another country next time.

I know I might sound a little jaded right now, but I don't want that to take away from the overwhelming joy we feel for our son!! We love him soooo much - we are just ready to take him home! I am still hoping that we will make our original flight on Novemmber 28th - but I don't know!

Hopefully we have our G&R ceremony on Monday. If we do I will try to find time to post to let you know!!!

By the way, we are still working on the pictures!!!
