Good News or Bad News?

Which do you want first?

Good News it is then.

Well, today we woke up and had an email from AWAA saying that we were accepted to their Rwanda program. So we're on the move... FORWARD finally!

I take it back. There is no "bad" news. It's just that i sit here this morning looking through all the "paperwork" (it's on the computer) and I realize it's not quite as easy as I thought it would be. Some of your adopt-y people are saying: "easy"?? I mean easier b/c we have done so much of it already with our Kenya adoption. Apparently it's been a while and I have forgotten a few things. Like getting papers notarized. For anyone living in the states, it's no big deal. For us, it is a big deal. Last time we ended up coming home to do a lot of it. I really don't want to wait until the end of November to get this going b/c I already have SO SO much lined up for when we come home. And the homestudy- I'm not even going there right now.

Ugh.... I am just so, so, so, overwhelmed. It makes me nauseous just thinking about what all we are re-doing. Guess thats my morning sickness. It is 9am...

Zofran please!

"Get on that paperwork!

          Ohhh...Daddy's playing hooky!

This past week was.... interesting to say the least.  I need not spell it all out here on the internet for the world to see, but we just had some challenges within the ministry.  But we would be silly to not expect those because when God is at work Mr S.A. Tan gets ticked off about it.  So- Long in the short (why do I feel like I'm always telling you poor people that)- Chris and I are playing hooky from church so we can guard the house.  Everyone one else is going to church.  But I think it's good for us.  We are going to work on adoption paperwork.  Since we've been back we've had NO time together to work on it.  We may just be sending out emails most of the morning asking questions about the parts we don't understand.  We've both read through the homestudy stuff now and boy is it a doozie!  I mean we didn't expect it to be easy, but we have to find a Neuro-psychologist, speech pathologist (I know one of those in the US), child psychologist, pediatrician (which we expected) , child development something-or-other, a developer of the child developer, etc, etc.  We have to have all of this for the paper work, but I don't know if they mean here, or there.  We'll figure it out though...

My mom will be happy we're playing hooky.  I finally got to talk to her on Shauna's skype yesterday and at the end of our conversation it wasn't "love ya, miss ya", it was "GET ON THAT PAPERWORK!  I WANT MY GRANDBABIES!"  Thanks Mom... love you too. :)  She has already started their little quilt blankies for their cribs! Tender, huh?
