Sleepless Night

Ok, it is 1:15 in the morning. I have to get up at 5 to travel to the orphanage where Alina's brother is. I went to bed at 10 but to no avail! I CAN NOT sleep. Ahhh! I hate when I know I need to sleep and I can't.

I am so anxious about tomorrow....

At first they said if we want Alina we have to take him, now they say maybe we can't have him. Since he is six his director has custody so she gets to decide. We will know for sure tomorrow.

I have so been hoping for a little boy. I keep telling myself it will work out the way it is supposed to, but it isn't helping me sleep.

I have images of orphan boys dancing in my head. Maybe I should try counting sheep!

  1. Oh I hate that. No sleeping. But my reasons are usually dumb not life changing - like meeting my new son for the first time. How nerve wracking the whole "his director gets to decide" thing. Does Alina have a relationship with him? Does he even know his siblings?
    I will be clicking on you all day! Please post!!

  2. I look so forward to reading your blog! Kinda weird that his director has decision making rights, but, maybe that's not so weird over there after all. Not to dimish your dream experience at all, I think I know how you're feeling. I have had dreams of orphans (boys and girls) dancing in my head for about 14 years now ~

  3. I was under probably the worst stress I'd EVER been under when I was there last year. Until that court was over, that is. I'm praying for you!
