One Step Forward, One Step Back

This week received our 797 from the USCIS. Good, right? Well, then we got a call from Aisha (love you, Aisha, really) telling me we have to have our medical forms redone because of the notary date. Annoying, but doable. Oh yeah, and I need 6 family pictures, passport photos and hurry. I'm pretty sure I already did that, but okay. Kevin's doctor would not merely SIGN the form, he requires a physical, blood tests and some follow-up tests before he'll sign. We could have been dossier to China this week, but......meanwhile the Tanskis are DTC this week without us! We should still travel with them, but it makes me nervous.

Thanks Donna for your input. By the way, Readers, if anyone is interested (teachers out there?) in helping me sponsor a child in foster care in China, let me know. Gracie is sponsored by a family, who are actually paying for her to receive foster care. It costs about $20/month. Research shows, of course, that foster care is better for any child than an orphanage (I'm sorry Donna, I still think Frannie is JUST FINE and was WELL LOVED in her orphanage :)). I read on our Yahoo group today that a teacher is getting her class to help her sponsor a child. The organization will mail you quarter reports and pictures of your child. Their website: http://www.dianjiangkids.org/index.html

I can't exactly get my students to sponsor a child, but I'm going to pass this idea on to a few Holt teachers. Thanks,
