Moritz Adoption

We might hear some news today (Monday).

Our agency told us on Friday that they expected to hear some news on our
case today. We know it's still likely they won't know anything today
but we are really hoping for something--just any detail they can relay.
If we knew the final outcome the wait wouldn't be so bad. If we were
just waiting for a court date (for ourselves) than we know it'd just be
a matter of time before we heard. But not knowing the ending of this
story really gets to us sometimes. I mentioned to Dan yesterday that I
was having negative thoughts all weekend...like we aren't going to get
the girls. He said he has been thinking the same thing. We have
decided that this is just a defense mechanism for us. We want to prepare
ourselves for the worst possible scenario this week. It's probably just
a devil attack and we gotta pray through it. We spent alot of time
praying yesterday...since we knew it was already Monday in Russia. We
discussed many possible outcomes. What if they tell us the birth mom
gets 3 months, 6 months, 1 year to pull her life together? Would we
wait? (yes) What if this adoption falls through? Would we pursue
another child(ren)? (probably not) It was therapeutic to spend the
weekend talking everything through. It is so much to think about..on so
many different levels. I'm carrying my phone with me all day today!
Pray that it rings. :) We could really use some answers.
