No new email from the kids yet this week. We think they might be at camp right now anyway. So we probably won't hear from them again for a little while.
Not really any news except that work is finally slowing down to a regular pace again. It was soooo busy around the holiday weekend with people going away and needing us to watch their dogs. Now we just have two dogs - one we're watching and one we're training. So it's more tolerable! We're both pioneering this month too so it's really busy with that also!
We found out today that the previous family who visited our kids is still having a fit that they were disqualified and are trying to fight it. They went over the agency's head to Estonia and it didn't work. It's the agency's job to accept or reject families... That's why they have the accreditation and stuff from the Estonian government. So there's nothing they can do, but it's still upsetting! It's kind of like finding out that a crazy ex-girlfriend is after your husband. You know it won't work, but you still wish they'd stop trying to break you up and steal your spouse!
I don't know why we can't get many breaks with the adoption process. We're really grateful for the things that have worked out - finding Estonia and finding the kids. We love them so much and the trouble is worth getting them home with us, but it seems like it's just our luck that our kids are the ones that another family is trying to fight over! It just adds to the stress during our wait.
Jason pointed out that we've already had like 4 things happen to us with the adoption process that "never happen". 1- having a home study that takes 9 months to get because our SW quit, 2- having our USCIS approval take 15 weeks to get total, part of that because of #3- the SW misspelling our name and setting us back with USCIS approval and 4- choosing kids who have had been previewed by another family that was later disqualified and still wanting our kids!!!
We're due a big break. A quick court date perhaps? PLEASE adoption universe?!?!
Maybe our big break is just the only one we've had all along - amazing kids who are perfect for us.
Love,
Molly

Many of us are anxietizing(is that a word?) along with you. Probably not to the degree that you are, but we're with you all the way!!!
Regarding the morons who are making an issue over their own rejection, I wonder why they think they should get kids with whom there was no compatibility?
I don't know, the only thing I can think of is that they took the time to preview them and I'm sure they liked them regardless of the kids' compatibility with them, and they did intend to adopt them. So it wasn't their choice to not adopt them, and still probably want to.
How did you find out about their still wanting the kids?
Patti, the lady who adopted a girl last year who was in our kids' group, was there when the previous family was previewing our kids. She had met them, and they had Patti's email address. They emailed Patti and told her, and she told me.
I'm not understanding how these people found out that they are being adopted by suitable parents, you. They were rejected period. Did you contact the adoption agency about these people and how they could go directly to the court in Estonia, and if so what did the Agency tell you?
