Sigh

I had a really eloquent post written in my head about adoption and attachment issues. How some kids are treated as throw-aways and how the system fails everyone in tough situations, but I am too tired to write it. I was so sure that I would be bringing PBJ home by now, or at least have a solid date for that. I thought about how it would be over the holidays with her there. How we could use all the chaos that the holidays bring to give her extra stimulation. How much fun it would be to have the kids' Christmas portraits taken in matching outfits. And now I just have to wonder if that will happen.

Someone from PBJ's village has filed with the court's contesting her adoption. I don't know who it is or if they want to parent her, or if they just have a problem. In fact, I don't know much of anything. The court still has not signed off on her file and released it. Is the birth mother really deaf/mute and illiterate? If so, how did she pass the interview in Family Court? It seems more likely she just doesn't speak Spanish, but then why can't an interpretor be found and solve that issue pronto? Or did they do that already? What is the problem? Can it be fixed? When will it be fixed? What is really going on?????
