Can I get off the roller coaster already??

Anyone that knows me, knows I HATE amusement park rides. I don't like heights, I don't like huge ups and downs, I don't like that ill feeling sitting at the tippy top of a huge hill waiting to free-fall down. Therefore, I really think it is time to be done with the whole adoption roller coaster. I am motion sick, dizzy from the highs and lows, and I just want to settle on down to terra firma. But alas, I ask too much. It looks like the Sept 4th travel group is full. I am holding out hope that we will get assigned the 11th, but who knows. It could just as easily be the next week. Still no news from our specialist. Today marks the 3rd week waiting for our birth certificate. The last batch came in at 2 1/2 weeks, but others have taken as long as 5 weeks. Rationally, I can have great perspective, but emotionally, I just don't know how much longer I can hang on. All alone last night, in my very quiet house, I was reduced to big ole crocodile tears, my heart breaking for my little sunshine, who's world is so confused right now. We need to be together. We need the end of this journey to find each other.

So for those of you that pray...please say a little prayer that things pick up a bit here. Pray that Miss sunshine is doing okay, pray that I can find just a little more stamina somewhere, and pray for good news. Thanks.
