… oh wait, I already am crying. My husband is flying today, so he’s no help. Hope you don’t mind standing in for him as a shoulder to cry on… I received an email this morning from USCIS. And it’s not good news. Evidently, they need more evidence before they can process our new approval. Evidence being state clearances from… Read More
the One
We’re still not- so- patiently waiting for TA to travel for our Vivienne. It has been 255 days since we first saw her face, and not one of those days has gone by that I have not thought of her, prayed for her. We hope to travel before the end of the year, before Christmas. Just the thought of seeing… Read More
oh my
With the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival fast approaching, I decided to send a mooncake care package to Miss Vivi and her foster family. I just wanted them to know, somehow, that we are thinking of her. All. the. time. And can not wait to bring her home. Imagine my surprise when, after emailing Ann at Red Thread Kids to say how… Read More
special needs: mind your business
Ever really don’t want to write? But feel like you need to? So it’s exhausted, disjointed and painful, and feels like an insanely long dental cleaning? Well, this is one of those times. Don’t necessarily want to say what I gotta say, but feel like it needs to be said. And anyone that knows me will tell you, if I… Read More
one BIG step closer to Vivi!
It’s here!! to the to the baby!!! I got “the call” yesterday, when I was shopping for none other than Miss Vivi!!Lots of paperwork to do this weekend, but believe it or not, I can’t wait… anything to bring Vivi home 🙂 P.S. Thanks to Amy Zaleski’s groovy letters for helping me celebrate the day 🙂
waiting is the hardest part
Yes. I am just now getting Vivienne’s care package off to her. About 2 months later than I had planned. I know, I stink! We were told by our agency that we needed to wait until we were LID to send anything, and if you know me, you know I always follow the rules. So I waited. But then we… Read More
guess who??
Look at the absolutely precious little face that, at last, made it’s appearance in my inbox today… I can’t stand it!! Come on LOA!!! Unfortunately, that’s not all we need to have happen to bring our girl home. First we need to finish a homestudy update. That means that even though we’ve already completed a ton of paperwork, we still… Read More
Vivi news!
Since the move, amongst other things we’ve had to “update”, we are required to get a home study update to bring Vivi home. Thankfully it’s not an entirely new home study (praise God!) but it has required a good bit of paperwork. Hopefully, getting the update completed and to USCIS won’t delay our travel at all. God willing. We requested… Read More
celebration!
courtesy of the letters… and !
prayer request ~ update
Remember this post? The day I was leaving for China we got a call from USCIS with a major paperwork snag. A snag of such proportion that it would take at least a month to rectify. I prayed, I know many of you prayed. And our prayers were answered. My agency called today and our application has been approved! If… Read More
