Mixed Feelings

(Christen) We again spent many hours at the Embassy today. We ended up leaving with mixed feelings. We got to leave Manny's passport in the event that they are able to issue his visa this week (sigh of relief); however, (not so fast) the Embassy employee made no promises that we would be receiving a visa soon. He stated "maybe Friday...or it could take a while". Whatever that means. Again we will see how the week plays out. I'm hoping/praying for Friday. They are interviewing our agency facilitator tomorrow for the second time. Their latest concern is that recently there have been a lot of children being adopted from the same foster home. They really want to ensure that these children aren't being trafficked.

On a different note, Manny lost a tooth yesterday. We had been watching it for a week, and secretly hoping it would just magically fall out on its own so we wouldn't have to pull it. That sort of thing isn't really mine or Brady's forte. Somebody had to be the parent, and since Brady went M.I.A. every time Manny mentioned it, I stepped up and got the job done! Manny was braver than the both of us. He didn't cry a bit!
