Emotional Week

This week started off with such excitement.  Our 3rd court date was on thursday and we were so excited to introduce our boys to you.  We woke up Thursday and thought there was no way we wouldn't pass, after all we were just waiting on a letter on one of the boys.  Well, we got the call Thurs. morning at about 11am telling us we did not pass again.  It was like we had the wind knocked out of us.  I gathered myself to ask our coordinator why and then it got worse, she said that we did not pass because the letter we were waiting on had misspelled one of the boys names wrong by 2 letters. (Ugh... wish they would have made up a better reason)  This was the first time during this process that i have felt just sick to my stomach and speechless.   Then we got news that our new court date is for May 20th, yep 2 weeks to correct 2 letters on a name.  Here is were I started feeling anger and frustration.  These 2 boys are waiting for us and I feel terrible that they have to wait longer.  I think God could sense our heartache because we received 5 pictures of the boys later in the day and what better way to make you feel better than to see those faces.  The best one is of the 2 boys hugging each other, you can tell they know they will be brothers because they are together more in pictures now.   Needless to say it was an emotional roller coaster of a day and we are exhausted..
