Uganda, don't be so difficult!

Our case worker sent this email yesterday:  Last week I called an adoptive mother that I know who has helped over 100 adoptive parents complete private adoption in Uganda and then an organization here in California that I’ve worked with in the past and that has been placing children from Uganda for a few years now, trying to get an education on what is happening as we’ve had such a difficult time getting the process to move forward. Both of them gave rather discouraging news. Apparently there are allegedly a lot of issues with fraudulent cases and adoptions are seriously slowing down and there is even talk of stopping the adoptions as Uganda considers signing the Hague Convention. 

 Well, doesn't that sound encouraging.  I don't even know how to respond, or even if I should.  I want to pretend like I didn't read it and then continue on.  Partly, I feel like our case worker is trying to back out of Uganda and she is telling us everything that is negative.  However, we aren't backing down.  Uganda or Bust!!!!  It just might be a long, long, long, time.  But I don't want it to be.  My baby isn't a baby anymore and I'm longing for my other babies to be with me.  By the way, who told these kids that they could grow up!?!

 I donated my hair to Locks of Love today!  Fun, Awesome, Exciting!

 Then I took the kids to the pool to get a break from the heat.

 Loved it.  Had tons of fun.  And the best part of the day...............

Russ just walked through the door after being gone for four days and not expected to be home until tomorrow.  Best. Day. Ever.
