  1. Adoption Update

    Here is the latest on our adoption journey.

    Things are moving along. This week I have mailed our application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition to US Immigration along with our Home Study and another set of fingerprint cards to the FBI requesting a copy of our Identification Records. Once Immigration receives and reviews our application they will notify us when to go for additional fingerprinting. This should be our last time having to be fingerprinted.

  2. Book Clubs

    I use to always be against Book Club type book discussions, and when I say against I do not mean that I generally think they are a bad thing.

    Pending Approval

    There is a church I pass on the way to town. 

    Hoping to hit a red light (annoying the drivers
    behind me) I break, lost in the sheer

    but a crystal volcano I swear hurls the
    innocent, the forgiven and the virtuous
    directly to heaven.

  5. The Orphan Doctor

    During the early part of this week my husband and I had an office visit with the Orphan Doctor. This doctor is a Pediatrician who specializes in international adoption medicine. If you want to read more about this amazing doctor you can visit her website at www.orphandoctor.com

    Anyway, the reason we went to see her is because we may need to be vaccinated against certain diseases when we travel overseas and to find out what we should be looking for when we finally meet our forever ...
