We received notice that our homestudy was approved by the State of Colorado. Next step: moving onto USCIS approval! What is USCIS you might ask? US Citizen Immigration Services. And then... once they give us the thumbs up we will be placed on the list for a toddler boy 12-36 months and the sibling list 0-48 months.
It is all in the hands of God and He knows who our children are. They're out there.
I am a nanny. I am experienced in caring for kids, my house is not. Both of the parents in the family I work for were sick with the flu today. Two of the three kids had also gotten sick. So today I brought the youngest, and only one to escape the sickness so far, to my house. He is precious and so full of energy. However, I learned that my house is not as "kid friendly" as I thought.
There will be plenty of time to prepare before our sweet boy comes home, but it was definitely something to consider beginning. It isn't like I have swords in the kitchen corner or broken glass in the family room; but goodness I've got to move some stuff around!
I love my job and will love being a mother but am seriously wondering when one finds time to clean. I guess it would be in the evening (when I'm blogging... but, I cleaned before I even logged on.) Everyone says that kids change EVERY.thing. I will have to work on time management, and pray for beautiful naps.
Here it is! I had this idea to make a shirt after seeing so many great t-shirts that other adopting families had, i.e. the Fulmer's and the Helms'.
Let me know if you are interested in purchasing one to support our adoption. We'd love to see our shirt represented in every state.
