So this morning after I dropped Rin off at school, I went over to the new house to unpack the adoption papers that were in storage while our house was on the market. I used the info from them to help me fill out the application for Korea and got it ready to send in this week. I was really sad about putting the Kaz adoption to rest and kept telling myself “This is the right decision for us. This is what’s best.” Time got away from me as I was sucked into my sadness and reliving Rin’s adoption, and I looked up to realize that I was late to pick him up from school for the first time since he started. So I rushed out the door to his school and rushed home to get him some lunch. Right as I sat down to eat with him, my phone rang and though I don’t normally answer numbers that I don’t recognize (and especially not during his lunch) I pushed the talk button before I realized it. I would never have guessed that it was the person at the other end who it ended up being. It was our caseworker from the Kaz program that we had not yet resigned from (it was on my To Do List). She said that a bunch of people had dropped out of the program and we had moved up quickly and wanted to know if we were still interested (?) and if we could have the dossier in next month (!) to travel sometime this summer (!!!!). OH MY GOSH! It took me completely off guard. I didn’t really know what to say. I had sort of made peace with the fact that it was no longer an option for us but now this. I told her that I would talk to Peter and call her back. Before I could even finish telling him what she had told me, he broke into what I was saying and told me “Absolutely. Tell her we’re in.” So off we go. Kaz is back on! OhMyGoshOhMyGoshOhMyGoshOhMyGosh -m
