Is their a discrepancy?

It seems their is a discrepancy in the definition of the word "Encouraging".  You see, each week our loving family coordinators at AWA send their families a "weekly encouragement" e-mail.  It always contains a scripture.  Yep, we can agree that that's encouraging.  It always links us to the blog for more information.  Informative .... hmmm ... that can be up for debate on encouraging dependent on the day, the month and the season of adoption with Ethiopia.   It always has a picture of a precious kid.  Who could possibly get more encouraging than that?  End Goal - cute kid - encouraging!  And lastly, it always contains a "weekly update or tip".  Encouraging?  Well, this week you decide.

Today's Weekly update said this:
We anticipate that Ethiopian courts will re-open on Wednesday, October 12^th. While it is possible this date may change, this is the information we have been given. If the date does change, we will let your family know. In past years, families have been issued court dates anywhere from a few days before court officially opens to a few weeks after the official opening date. The travel department will inform you as soon as they hear when your family has been given a court date.

Booo hoooo ... that's not "Encouraging"!!  There seems to be a communication error.  The 12th???  That feels like a decade from now and well, there isn't anything "encouraging" about that news ... even if it is candy coated in the "families have been issued court dates a few days before court officially opens" phrase because that too was spoiled by the broccoli thrown on top with a "to a few weeks AFTER their official opening" phrase.  Nope, unless you had a typo and you meant to type "2" instead of "12" ... that's, what we phrase in this family as a,  "What a bummer" e-mail.  

Translation:

They aren't opening until the 12th, we haven't a CLUE when you'll get your appointment but when we do ... we'll let you know.  Don't call us, we'll call you.  Oh, and well ... be encouraged ... because "it's POSSIBLE this date could change and well, IF it does ... we'll let you know that then too.  Have a great week!  

BOOO HOOO!  I just turned two, am throwing a tantrum and want a NEW weekly encouragement!  I want a do over (kicking me feet, floundering like a fish, busting out that ugly 2 year old cry) HAHA!  

*Disclaimer* I LOVE my agency, my family coordinator and their awesome weekly encouragements.  I don't fault them for not knowing, I just find it comical sometimes what arrives in my in-box.  No one (including them) has any control in this process... but we live in America and that SOOOO bothers us.  Answers ... we need answers and a PLAN darnit!  International adoption -it aint gonna happen, no matter what agency your with!  I just have to find the humor amidst the journey and trials or else, I'll have no hair by the time "Z" comes home.  Laughing commences.  BWAHAHAHAHA!
