A rut then a bump

Just a quick post to vent some major frustration before heading off to Peoria for running group.  After going through a long period of lacking motivation and getting discouraged through the paperwork process, I was starting to get back on track by sending some more documents in and collaborating with our social worker again.  However, my physical exam was not approved due to the fact that my physician used a notary who's commission expires in less than 2 months.  So now the whole form needs to be redone and I have to inform my doctor that the notary has to have a commission valid for at least 1-2 more years.  After having a little crying spell and feeling sorry for myself, I'm trying to remember that life could be so much worse.  Yes, it is a pain in the rear to redo this again, but I just have to move forward.  I could take it as a bad sign, but I choose to look at it as just another bump in the road of this really long journey.  God's grace and mercy will get me through this, but I have to remember to trust Him.  I often forget that.  Until you actually try to adopt someone, you will never really understand how much time and paperwork goes into the process.  I'm not going to lie, it's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.  Praying that I can get over this bump and move on.  Thankful for the sunny day....going to get out there and enjoy it!
