Ants & butterflies
I have ants in my pants. I can't sit still and sleeping last night was hardly on the agenda. This afternoon at 2.00pm, Licenciada Carolina, 3rd secretary of Judge Licenciada Dalila from the First Family Court of Tijuana, has an appointment to see Maya's birth mother, for her third attempt (last two were 28th Nov and 9th Dec) to get her ratification of her earlier signature and consent to the adoption and final signature on the adoption documents. This is that one crazy little detail we've been waiting for since October 29th, and given the promises of BM to finally pull through, we desperately, desperately hope that this time it'll happen. If it does, I can picture the jubilation. Am filling in the long minutes until that time as best as possible. Fiona and the twins have been doing a marvellous job of distracting me over the past few days with trips and yummy food.

Dear Emma,
I wish I could transport you back to this stage of waiting, anticipating, hoping,...... to prevent you from feeling the pain of the disappoitntment, later that day.
Allow yoourself to feel free, energised, invigorated and loved,
waiting from a distance, for the moment in time, when it will be
ratified, and precious little explorer, will be back in your arms, in her home, with you and Ahmed.
As your friend said... "And all this too, shall pass"
You did the right thing and you will be in a much better place, a few weeks from now. You are truly loved by so many people, and the lucky charms do work, only a little slower than expected.
Ahmed also needs to reenergise and find his "Lucky Park"
There is some hidden meaning behind the delay, which we cannot always see so clearly. Hang in there, the ratification will come, then you can live the jubilation, instead of just picturing it.
We will all celebrate with you, Ahmed and Maya. Then you will write the blog that we are all looking forward to.
All our love
MIL
