Een adoptie ouder schreef....

I find this wait, these time limits, unfair, excessive, unnecessary, incomprehensible ... unacceptable. Time is so important when a child spends all of it in an orphanage, and when parents are waiting so long, separated from their children. Nobody, apart from the adoptive parents, can understand what we live and what we feel for our children who are so far away. And I think it is normal to feel sad, to lose patience, to be hurt, to get angry against this slow ... There are times when words can not help us, when we lose hope, when everything goes wrong, ...

But we must remember, all the time, that something will move, somewhere, in an office, a paper will move in a file, someone will grab a pen or a stamp ... It will happen! Obviously! And the process will go on until its end!
And besides all the prayers, when really it's too long, when we have no more news and when everything seems to collapse, I think that we can ask again to our sw or to GLA, what is happening, where is the file, is the paper done,...? Scrounge some information that will help us to hope again and to wait again.

Soms valt het mee, soms valt het tegen...maar eens zullen deze kindjes thuiskomen!
