Not so great...

The best laid plans... seems a pretty apt title for our blog today. We received a call yesterday from our social worker expecting to have final confirmation of dates to pick up JM. Instead we were told that there's been a delay and we wont be heading over as expected. The medical review board responsible for making recommendations to the Immigration Department have asked for more information about JM's medical history. We feel pretty gutted... we've been rushing around madly getting things ready at work, at home, flights were lined up, we've been reading like crazy and preparing ourselves emotionally. We were so excited, suitcases ready, Will wanting to pack now... Ahhhhhhhhhh !!! We know the delay will only be for for 3 or so weeks but right now that seems like an eternity. Keep us in your prayers (if you're the praying kind)... looks like we'll head over now in early August, but the best laid plans...

  2. Hey guys, you've been on my heart. Will be praying that 3 weeks will go quickly, but that God will also make it clear why you needed to wait an extra 3 weeks.
    Blessings, L.

  3. August will be here before we know it. In the meantime, perhaps there will be some time to squeeze in a catch up?
