13 Months.....and STILL counting :(

I remember January 16, 2007 very fondly. We were so excited because 1. It was Payton's sixth birthday and 2. We finally got into IBESR....YEAH!!!! Now the problem is getting out of the place. How can we go from being so excited to be in a place to so sick of it? I'll tell you, from spending thirteen months in what feels like solitary confinement. Anybody out there watched The Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End? I personally feel like Capt. Jack Sparrow in the scene where he is all by his lonesome in Davey Jones Locker. He and the Black Pearl are surrounded by sand and he is going CRAZY. I just want out of here!!!!! I know however if we get out we face the Great Gassant! I know deep in my heart that in order to get this thing done, Gassants heart or his employment has to be changed, but at the same time I would really like to have IBESR say, " Hey, you're a great family, you have our permission to adopt these kids". Until that day however I just ride the frustration rollercoaster, problem is it just keeps going up and up and up. There hasn't been the thrill of heading downhill towards the finish yet, but when it does there is going to be one heckuva ride and I am going to enjoy every minute of bringing those kids home...

Take care
