As of today

As of Saturday morning, we still have not received the paper we need for Archives.  We have not heard anything today from our agency.  We are considering hiring a new lawyer to get us through this step in the process.  We have already paid our agency in full as per our contract.  So, it would mean that we paid for the original lawyer through our agency plus an additional $3500 for a new one to gather the proof of Jimmy's birth mother's death.  We are unsure what to do at this point.  We will make a decision soon. 
We rejoice with our friends, the Hoovers, as they have a visa appointment for their son, Rishard, on March 25.  As you know, Rishard and Jimmy have gone together through each step of this process.  They were expecting to come home together as well.  However, that is not going to happen.  When we started the process there was 1 family in process and 4 more started after us.  All of those families will have their children home once Rishard leaves CHCH.  I hate that Jimmy has to stay behind yet again.  I would love to just fly down and be with him until it is time for him to come home; however, just not a possibility for us.  I get daily messages from him asking when and why.  When he heard of Rishard's appointment date, he thought he had one as well.  It is heartbreaking to tell your child that everyone else gets to go home to their forever families, but you have to be without yours a little longer.  None of it makes sense and none of it is fair.  I am tired of trying to convince everyone else it is ok.  Because it is not, especially not for Jimmy.
