Words Of Encouragement When Stressed Out

... ... A mistake corrected

This morning I received another email from the agency. Indeed, there was an error on the financial statement he had sent us. They sent me a new financial statement and explanation of additional costs that we already paid. I must admit that everything is now in order and correct with what we were told initially. By all calculations, currently, the agency we should just over $ 300. Remains to be seen whether they will really give us if we tell them que nous arrêtons les démarches.

Par contre, ils ne m’ont pas encore donné de vrai explication sur le pourquoi aucun dossier de leur agence n’a été déposé. Aussi, ils ne disent pas quand les dossiers vont être déposés, ils n’ont aucune date de dépôt. Le problème est plutôt là.

En tout cas, je vais encore une fois reposer la question…

Purposely Rude Restaurants

? Today = Saturday?

L’Ukraine n’a pas le même calendrier que nous, mais j’étais certaine qu’ils utilisaient les mêmes jours de la semaine. En tout cas, je ne sais pas sur quelle calendrier c’est basé notre agence, mais faut croire qu’aujourd’hui it's Saturday! Yeah, I've just received their email that they had promised Saturday. I know, better late than never ...

The message said nothing new. They have the same speech for almost a year. Our record is our facilitator in Ukraine ready to drop, such as records of three other families before us. None of their case has been filed this year, but they have no explanation to give us the above. They still do not want to let us connect with these other attempt a family.

They still sent me a financial statement with fees that were already paid for their service. For cons, I do not quite understand how they calculated everything. Also, they included only $ 1 600 that we paid ... we paid much more than that! Anyway, I asked some additional explanations.

All this just confirms that we made the right decision. We can keep our dossier to Ukraine until September, because it is up to date until this month. Then, it should be updated. I do not accept the update again. I think we can keep our record out there until it expires ... and who knows, maybe a miracle will happen ... even if I do not think so.

How Long Until Nystatin Cream Expires

A sign of life!

There are only 10 minutes, I just received an email from our agency. Nothing to really jump for joy cons. Just a message to tell me she had gone to Russia for 2 weeks and has just entered the country. She said she will speak his facilitator in Ukraine tomorrow and give us some new details Saturday. I can not wait to see if it'll be really detailed ... In any case, no matter what she'll say, I do not really think it will make us change our minds. I want answers just for my personal satisfaction.

Change of topic, I want to thank everyone who answered my invitation to our new blog. I am really touched that so many of you support us regardless of our decisions, it is heartwarming. If there are others who want access, please do not.

Also on the quilt with 100 wishes, we will stop collecting tissues for our Angel of Ukraine, but we will still treasured those we have already received. We decided that we would start over and pick up the squares of fabric for our Treasury of New Brunswick. So if you want to participate again, that we really enjoy shod. We believe that our small Treasury also has the right to have its own quilt, and his wishes for happiness. We also want to feel part of the family already.

When A Scorpio Guy Is Not Interested In You

Access to our new chapter

This chapter is not yet quite complete, there are still more lines to write and I want to finish this part of history. For cons, I've already started writing the next chapter in our lives. For now, I have chosen as our new chapter is being deprived, however, I realized that writing without being read was a bit flat. So I throw the invitation, those who are interested in living our new chapter with us, write me an email ( niny1@hotmail.com ) and I'll send you an invitation to our new blog, a new blog for our Treasury New Brunswick. If I do not know you personally, just tell me why you want to be part of our history and it will make me happy to include you. Please put in the message title "Treasury Note," in case your post would go in my spam, I could recover more easily.

We still have not heard back from our beloved agency, maybe they are on vacation ... I can still give them a few more days, otherwise I'll raise.

Nitrous Oxide Kills Brain Cells

Square # 39 - Fabian and Philip

There was a wonderful surprise waiting for us tonight in our mailbox, a square of fabric. A long time ago that we had not received. This fabric comes straight from Chatillon, France. It comes from Fabienne and Philippe awaiting small chip of China. I do not know anything, they found our blog by accident and decided to participate in our quilt. A very big thank you and I want to get your chip quickly.

For those who wonder what will we do with the fabric squares, it's simple we'll make a mini quilt in memory of our little angel Ukraine. We do not want our Treasury of New Brunswick has the rest of our little angel. Our treasury will not come to replace our little angel, so he will not have a quilt that he has not even earmark.

What Happens At Sorority Initiatiob

No answer ... Living in the moment

I'm sorry for not coming to give you news soon. I wanted to wait to talk about our agency, except that it does not seem pressed to answer ... I had written there's more than a week to ask for news of our record. This email went unanswered, so I wrote another last Monday for an explanation. I still have not received an answer, but things do not stay, I will raise. I think we really have the right to an explanation. I want to know exactly what is wrong with our record ... or with this agency! And you can be sure I'll tell you all come as soon as I managed to get an answer. I could try to call them except that I prefer to have everything in writing.

The decision is nevertheless taken, unless a huge miracle, we stop our efforts with Ukraine. This decision was very hard to take except I'm sure it's good. I had too much trouble to live with uncertainty in Ukraine, especially the lack of confidence in our agency. We have invested much time and agent in this passage, our heart is in Ukraine for almost 2 years. We have a little angel who lives in Ukraine and decided to stay there. It is not easy to accept that decision as this angel is there and not go after him, but for our mental and financial health is better this way.

We will begin the process of adopting a little treasure of New Brunswick, and start a Another chapter in our lives. We'll work we build other dreams.
I want to take the time to say a big thank you for all your support during this stage that is not very simple. Thank you all of you who leave me comments here on QuébecAdoption on Facebook or email. You're really special to me and it feels so good to know we're still supporting whatever way we choose to take.

soon as I hear from the agency, I'll come give you more details.

Lemonade For Bladder Stones



My biggest challenge has always been just live the present moment, living today without thinking of tomorrow or even relive yesterday. I am often haunted by my past, to wonder what it would have happened if I had done this or that thing differently. I always head full of a thousand and one projects for later, I'm a big dreamer and if something comes jam my cards, I'm scuppered. I have great difficulty just live today, enjoy this day that opens to me.

With adoption, it is very hard to live simply without being haunted by our Angel. By cons, since I agreed that our Angel could stay in Ukraine, I can better live with everything. I have not heard from our agency since April, and wrote me in April when it was just to get a copy of our marriage certificate. They had no news to tell us. I think it's better this way, the agency just fun to us to create false hopes that are too difficult to live. I stopped believing them, trust is gone really. With all my reading I learned that the adoption in Ukraine is like a party at the casino, one can easily lose everything or gain but no can predict. Nevertheless, I still hope that our case is filed before the expiration date is September.

Many tell us that we need to take vacations, enjoy life while waiting for our Angel. I admit it is very difficult. Adoption is very expensive, especially with a trip of at least 6 to 8 weeks there, so I would not feel well on vacation now. I prefer to keep my vacation for the big trip, as my sub. I know now, go on a trip, I was just thinking that I'm about to use what is intended to go to Ukraine. We must live with this yes, but I still think it must also be realistic and think a bit in the future.

This summer, I'll still try to enjoy life and make small getaway with my boyfriend and my friends. During this time I'll try to have fun without thinking too much more than adoption.

For our adoption plan, we are given the summer to really think seriously about whether we continue with Ukraine, or if you get into adopting an older child in New Brunswick. In my head, my decision is already quite taken except that I still want to examine the pros and cons "To be on the right decision.

Thanks to all who support us in this great adventure, you may not know how good it makes us.
