What could've been bad has turned good??

Well, we got the call today that we would have to wait until spring to resume our MAPP classes. Now this would have totally upset me yesterday but today...

Ok, so, how many of you believe in fate? Something weird is happening and I am trying to decide how to interpret it! You all have had to listen to my whining for the past few days about the MAPP class issue...well, this morning DH calls from work and says he has just been offered a six figure position at his company in the Service Dept.!! Now, this new job entails him traveling...alot but home on weekends. My mom swears the goddess (we're kinda into the nature thing) is trying to show us that we needed to hold off on the classes until spring so that we can all adjust to DH being gone during the week. Maybe this is the plan for us...waiting until spring, DH getting this new amazing job (the money would do so much for our family), and then the possibility of growing our family even larger than we had planned. (I wanted a sibling group but we just don't have the money for it.) What do you guys think?? Am I totally crazy for thinking this is the plan that has been set in motion for us?

Stay tuned!!

Thanks Nor'Easter Noel! Argh!!

Ok, after counting down to the day when our classes would begin and we would become proactive in our adoption...a Nor'Easter strikes and we can't go! Now we sit, waiting to find out if we will be able to continue with this set of classes or if we now have to wait...

UNTIL SPRING!!!!!

I am absolutely heartbroken to think that our child will have to sit and wait an additional 3-4 months before being united with us! Our SW said she would speak to her superviser and see if anything could be done to help us. I called yesterday and left a message but still haven't heard anything back yet. The next class is Saturday and I am sooooooooooooo hoping we get to attend.

If we do have to wait until spring that means that our homestudy wouldn't begin until April or June and we wouldn't be matched with our child until the summer. Then we would have the slow "getting to know you" time before being able to finally bring our child home. It could possibly be a year away! :(

I was so hoping that our trip to Disney for DS's 5th birthday would be as a family of four but now that seems like it might be impossible. So, for those of you out there who might be reading this...please keep your fingers crossed for us.
