Moving slow but hoping we speed up!
This post is for Missi's birthday! Happy birthday Melissa!
We have been moving at a snail's pace or so it seems. Our immigration application was submitted without our home study, very unusual back on April 23rd. Our home study was supposedly a few days behind. However, somehow it still hasn't arrived to us or our placement agency. I am hoping it gets here tomorrow along with our fingerprinting appointment for immigration. We will then walk in on Monday to the USCIS office here in Ft. Myers to get our fingerprinting done. As soon as they clear and our home study arrives to immigration (by Tuesday) we should get our approval. For China authentication of your dossier is a two step process, for Russia it is just one step. Once the secretary of state certifies each document (apostille for Russia) it is then sent to the appropriate Chinese consulate. Our birth certificates are all done. Mine had to go to Chicago and Don's to NYC. Crazy stuff!
I wanted to share that I truly feel Molly is our God chosen daughter! Not sure if you are aware but we chose her name before we knew anything about her. The name is from the boys. Olly is from Oliver, who changed our hearts to love the orphans of the world. M for Matson who's adoption tax credit is paying it forward and bringing her home. She has Oliver's congenital heart defect (ASD) and Matson's date of birth. A weee bit heaven sent:) God is good!
Matson has moved to Oliver's room and is on the bottom bunk! Tonight they were both sleeping at about 8:10! Fourth night and Matson has napped 3 days in his bed! We are on our way. The crib came down today and Brynn will take over Matson's former room on Saturday. Once she goes back to school in August we will tranform it in to Molly's room. Can't wait!
Saturday morning Stephanie graduates from the University of South Florida!!! So proud of her! She is about to start looking for a real job and in July her lease is up so who knows where she will end up. NYC with her sister? Carolinas? Ft. Myers? I think Michelle would love to have her as would we!
Brynn is doing awesome at school last final tomorrow and then she meets us with us in Tampa for graduation. She told me today "all A's this semester maybe"! Boy is that girl making her mama proud! She has only proven that the F's were from lack of effort, not that we didn't know.
Oliver has kindergarten orientation on Monday night! And I am investigating part-time preschool/daycare for Matson in the fall. Molly is going to need some time with me and Matson needs some other kids to keep him busy! Eventually the two of them will each go a little so they can each have mama time:)
Hope everyone is well! Life is busy!
