Swine flu outbreak

As the media tracks the swine flu outbreak, in the back of my mind, I think, that won't affect us. But I got the call! Friday morning, our adoption agency Children's Bridge calls me, to say the CCAA has recommended we postpone our trip. At this point, it is like postponing labour after it's started! No! I said. We at that point were 1 week away, and there has been so much planning and coordinating of other people's schedule, that it just could not happen. This swine flu will not stop us. We have a daughter, even though she may not know that she's waiting for us, but we have been waiting for her for a long time, and we will overcome this hurdle, and come to you as soon as we can. And that will be in 5 more sleeps!
