Come On John!!!!

Oh...we jest when we say, "now, just give me your John Hancock right here on the dotted line". It may be for the lengthy transcripts of the sale of a home or as simple as signing your child's homework reading log...but truly some signatures are literally holding up the lives of others. We are STILL waiting for a signature from the orphanage. It has been over two weeks since we were told that there was "movement" on our case and all they needed was a simple signature before assigning our court case. I have tried to be patient. I actually thought that it meant a 24 hour wait. So, I waited 24 hours. I mean, how long does it take for someone to put pen to paper? How long does it take to just simply put your JOHN HANCOCK ON THE DOTTED LINE?!!! I certainly did not fathom more than 2 weeks. I sent an email yesterday to the agency and she replied that they are still waiting and she has requested an update from the Ethiopian team. Oh Lord, please grant us favor. I know, I know, we are going to get the call soon enough, but it is sometimes these last few minutes in the midnight hour that make it the most difficult to maintain control.
SO, that is where we are. Really nowhere closer. We wait. Our little girl waits. Oh, how I long to see her, to even see a recent pic of her. The only one we have is when she was 6 months old. She is now 9 months old. I am wondering if her hair is grown out a little or her face changed. Ohhh the wait. Come on John, SIGN THE PAPER!!
