- 8-11am: various text/phone calls/emails back and forth with Terry regarding: Samuel, witnesses, affidavits, agency, orphanage, guest house, money transfers, changing flights, Ethiopia attorneys, US attorneys, US Embassy, USCIS or any other number of details
- Most of day: try to focus on work and enormous product launch coming up, filling open position and reworking entire marketing strategy with reduced staff and budget
- A the same time, work on any required adoption details (see #1) including conference calls with US attorney, useless agency and other adoptive families + try to keep family + friends up to date
- Evening: feed/walk BFF Jackson, sit on conference calls with Japan (see #2) or adoptive families, catch up on work missed due to conference calls on adoption during day
- 10-12pm: more communications with Terry regarding adoption details (see #1)
- All night: when I wake: check iphone and email for any updates from Terry, and since I'm up anyway - whip off email responses to Japan
- 24 hours a day: swing up and down between worry, hope, despair, excitement, fear. Obsessive cleaning of baseboards.
- Repeat

Yep. It's not a fun dance. But so worth it one day.
Keep snuggling the pup. This is the worst season to be going through this.. we know it sucks even more. xoxo
Honestly, I just had to read your post 3 times, because the first two times made my head spin. I have to give you honest credit, i don't know if Tim and I have the smarts and mental strength to pull off what you guys are. You both seem pretty amazing and what story you will have to tell your son one day!
Miracles are in the making. Just a LITTLE more patience and he'll be in your arms and your life.
