Paperwork all in

Well CHSFS has all of the paperwork. I faxed part two of the application to them and our social worker,(local), sent our homestudy in to them. So now we wait for a couple of weeks to hear back from them. Our file has been transferred to the Ethiopian adoption specialist who is reviewing it. As soon as I hear I will post it.

Shots Shots and Shots

Well this week I sent off my application to CHSFS and the follow-up paperwork was sent. Also we all had to get a TB test for the medical forms for the homestudy. Well me being the SAHD I am, I took Alexander to the doctor. Just so happens, Alex needed his kindergarten shots also. So we go in and the doctor examines him. Alex starts to get really quirky. Now he said as soon as the doctor came in that he did not want a shot. Unbenonst to him, he needed two. The TB test shot and a Hepatitia A. So I hope you know where I am going with this.....anyway, the doctor gives me the look and I told Alex to get dressed. I started telling Alex about how brave he is and that if he is good I will take him to Nascar Racecar so that he can drive the go-carts. Alex is cool until....

She walked in the room, the nurse that is, carrying what seemed to Alexander two instruments of death. Two needles.

Let the screaming commence.

Well after having two nurses and myself holding him so tightly that he could barely move, the shots were given. After all that he was given a cherry popsicle. Oh the humanity, oh the horror. Alex looked at me as if to say, I freaking popsicle.

Well I am still going to take him to Nascar Racecar.

God love him.

Here we go

Well when Nancy and I thought about having more kids we thought we could do it naturally. But hey things happen. So we started thinking, what about adopting. So here we are. And not just any kind of adoption but an Internationally adoption from Ethiopia, hince the Ethiopian flag and colors. We are using a wonderful lady for our home study and we are almost done. We are hoping to have all our paper work done and submitted to Children's Home Society and Family Services, from now on know as CHSFS, by the end of the month for the Ethiopian courts shut down for the summer June 1. We are hussling. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork and I heard that the dossier is a whole lot of paperwork, paperwork, well I think you know what I saying. But it will all be worth it.

I have to thank my very special and best friend, Stacy for setting this blog up. I will keep it up babe. From Nancy and I, thank you and we love you.

Well this is the first of many blogs to come. And oh by the way, we are asking for a girl, with possible siblings.

We are so excited(gitty):-}

see ya soon

The start of it all
