Weekends

Most of us live for the weekend don't we?  We're ready to leave the office behind and enjoy a couple of days away.  A much needed break.  Time to play.

Well, most of us adoptive parents hate the weekends.  Weekends mean our agencies are closed.  Our government offices are closed.  Progress comes to a halt as our paperwork is left in their inboxes, phones are set to voicemail and our email full of questions and requests for status updates sit alone, unopened in their mailboxes.

Adoptive parents live for Mondays when we know we can get our questions answered, our concerns addressed and our minds put at ease (ideally).

Oh, weekends are tough.

Don't even get me started on holidays.
