A Little Closer.

Tomorrow- we are going to the USCIS office to
have our prints done.

I like the girls there.
They love it when Stacy and I come in
because I am so goofy and loud and then Stacy comes in and
is Mr. Sweet and Quiet.

They ALWAYS comment on how funny we are and that they want us
to "adopt" them.

Odd, because we never really DO anything funny.

The last time we were there, one of the Mom's was thinking of
taking her son out of the school system to home- school.
Apparently, this child was being picked on because he was"smart",
made good grades, and did not play football or basketball.

I told her to tell him that I had never seen"Did You Play Football in
High School?" on any job application, so it REALLY isn't necessary.
I am interested to see how that has turned out.

We also have an appointment with our agency in B'ham, on Thursday.
It will be fun to have a face to go with the program director's voice.

We are fine tuning our dossier before sending it to Houston.

It's cool to be within driving distance to our agency. Our last agency
was in Maryland.

I feel like I am getting a little closer....to what I have no idea.

No news on the boys. Going on week 6 or 7....I don't know.
I try not to think about it too much.

I've been trying to read a little about toddler adoption.

I am going to have to go back and read my "the Natural Child" book.

I do not agree with a lot of the mainstreams ideas on how to bring a
toddler home.

I've never been one for keeping a baby on a schedule or "tough love".
We prefer to follow the lead of the child. Not popular in today's child-
rearing circles, but I have never been a "follower".
No real reason to start now.

So that's what is going on here.

Peace.
