Now that our court appointment has been done and the petition for adoption granted (Yea!!), we're now in the 10 day waiting period for the adoption to finalize. Today is day 1 of that 10 day period. Airfare costs (not to mention the week it takes to adjust to the 8 hour time difference) make it more sensible for us to just hang out and wait. We can get some paperwork ready for when the adoption has finalized, and visit Kayleigh and Michael (now their legal names, we're still trying to get used to them...) each day until they climb into the car and leave the orphanage for the last time! Today was pretty bland comparatively, we slept in, lounged, ate a late breakfast, and went to the orphanage for awhile. Took a walk for ice cream, played soccer and card games, played tag, more tag (Michael is small but he can sure motor!), walked around to where there is a litter of puppies (Alyssa is ready to stash one in her carry on....), and back to the flat for dinner. Weather wasn't bad, but I tell you I am SO ready for warm Texas weather! And BBQ. Did I mention I miss BBQ?
Welcome to our blog! We are so excited that you would take the time to follow our adoption journey! Thanks for coming along for the ride as our adoption of Kayleigh and Michael was completed in May 2012 and as we embrace our new world of parenting five teenagers!
