Quiet.

There's nothing new to report with the adoption process. Nepal is in the midst of changes in their government, and we're hearing that is slowing/stopping the process of matching families with orphans temporarily. Apparently they're in the process of appointing a new Minster of Women & Children - which is the agency that handles adoptions. Much change.

It's really amazing - in this world of instant news, constant updates, Twitter, FaceBook, etc - that we really have no idea what's happening with the adoption process, where we stand, or how long it might be until we hear news about our child. What we get is bits and pieces of information - and nothing really concrete or absolute. When we hear things, we're not sure what to believe. Mostly, we don't hear things. It makes me realize how very different day to day life is in Nepal. And it also brings a whole new meaning to "I have no control over this situation".

So, it is what it is. I'd have been shocked if this happened in the timeframe I preferred, which was yesterday.

Namaste.
