Finally posting again
|
I have not had time to post. So now I will try to give a little update on our adoption. Our agency is Small World Adoptions. We choose this agency because of the wonderful recommendations we had about them. Our son Hou De is in Fujian Province of China. He is in Fuzhou City. He is two years old and was born 11/1/04. He was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. His lip and palate were repaired by Love Without Boundaries, however he will need several additional surgeries once he is home. We need a family size waiver from China because we have five children at home. We are currently waiting for CIS to approve our application and then our paperwork will be sent to China for their approval which is known at DTC (Dossier to China). Then hopefully we will be able to travel to China by mid summer to get him! So that is the short story! Adoption paperwork is long and agonizing. So much we have no control over. But God is in control and HE has gotten us this far and blessed us every step of the way in our adoption journey. I will try to post updates when we get them...now if only I can figure out how to post sidebar entries and photos! Now on to homeschooling.... Homeschooling through all this had been exhausting and I do feel a little guilty that it is taking up alot of my time. I try to do most of the adoption stuff after the children are in bed. We have five children 11g, 10g, 8g, 6b, and 22 month boy and of course Hou De 27 months old in China. Our 10 year old turned 10 today! February 21, 1997 I has holding a new little baby in my arms. Its hard to believe she is 10 now! Anyway, as you can imagine we are busy here with five kids at home, teaching different ages. I'll post more in that next time. |
