Well..... I did say something..... anything...... Quite honestly, I feel like I have been punched in the gut. I phoned our agency a few minutes ago regarding a question I had with the Immigration procedure. While on the phone I asked whether or not they have heard anything regarding the online system. I was put on hold and then I was told that a list did indeed arrive last night. Unfortunately, there was no baby on there for us. I am not sure why I let myself get my hopes WAY up. I worried about allowing that to happen, but really couldn't help it this time!
So, here we are.... waiting still. I guess I have no right to complain as some people are still waiting since our first journey. I feel selfish when I think about them. At the same time, I am sad. I just hope that our time does indeed come.
Anyway, there's the news. No news again.... that is the thing I think that kills me really. When you are a part of the SN lists, you always have the hope that you are going to hear of your little one. When you are expecting your proposal with the NSN, as horribly long a process as it is, you have an idea of when you can completely expect to receive news. Anyway, I will continue to try to wrap my heart around being totally prepared, and yet prepared to wait. Wait.......
Sorry, I suppose that I need to chin up now. No more pity party.... I am going to wash the dishes and take our girls to the EcoM. the air may help clear my head! Not so sure about the heart though! I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up high, I just couldn't help it....

I am sorry to hear this...hugs. It is so hard but never feel bad. We all take different paths in life and make choices. It is sad that both are hearts are hurting. Soon though, God willing, they will be singing a happy song.
Keep smilin!
So sorry to hear that once again, this "wait" is weighing heavy on yet another heart. Enjoy every minute with your girls for now, and your time shall come (as will mine.)
Looking forward to reading as happy entry on your blog, when you get a picture of your new little one... Keep that chin up!

The time just after another list comes out is so very hard Jen. It will always be hard. There are only two things I can think of that are worse. Refusing a child because the needs are more than you feel you can handle and coming home with a child whose needs are much more than what you expected. Don't forget that it's worth the wait Jen.
Once I got over the initial sadness and disappointment of missing another list, it helped me to look at the long term situation. This is only the first of three difficult waits my dear, but she is coming. You will be up and you will be down, but in the end, when she's home with you and all adjusted, you will be up and you will be down as you raise her. She's coming and you have time.
On the bright side, you guys now have another month to save more money and....don't forget....she will come.
Jen, no words that haven't been spoken already. Just sending you a huge hug!!!
