We are being TORTURED!!!





So, no news yet on the move. It is just crazy.

We put the house on the market. No news on that either.

I found out that the Rainbow Twins are being referred on the nonspecial needs route and are in the matching room now. They will go to a childless couple. Uhhhh.......

And yesterday I found a lil girl that had a family looking over her file. There were 4 people in line to also see her file. I added our name to the list, and she was locked in before the end of the day.

So, now I found another little girl that is very young. She has no file listed. They have her special needs listed but that's it. She isn't even a year old and from the little blurb it seems her needs have been fixed. So I emailed the Coordinator, but it was like 6:00pm so I probably will hear tomorrow. My luck this all means she is already locked in by somebody else.

I talked with the Coordinator yesterday. It is taking 7 months to get a special needs child home. So if we move it is supposed to be June 1-Sept 30th and it would work out fine. Dave will have 60 days of refresher training beforehand so that was our concern. And if he has to be somewhere June 1, he would have to leave right away which would be bad.

Anyways, it seems like we are being tortured. But, you know me...it's all OK. I have this feeling like a bunch of good stuff is going to happen soon. No matter where we go it will be great. And no matter what baby we bring home it will be great. I have this overwhelming sense of understanding God's hand is on all of this. But I get a little miffed when Dave calls "just to say hi". He is sweet, but I obviously think he is calling with the big news every time I see his number on the caller ID.

We have been spending a lot of time getting things cleaned, organized and thrown away in preparation for the big sale. We did spend Saturday at The Science Center and met Sue the T. Rex. Asher is totally into dinosaurs and he loved it.

Josie said something funny today during school, "Mommy, how can you read without talking."

Zach mostly says, "Mamamamamama". He loves to be held and is currently sleeping upon my chest.

I am also spreading the word on a great website I found: http://parentingfreedom.com/ It sums up a lot of the parenting choices we have made. I have read through most of it. The only thing that we don't do is we do vaccinate. I think we may spread them out more down the line, but with a trip to China coming up we need vaccinations. Also if Dave does get sent to England, we will all need to be current. I have read a bit about what is in them, and having substances from aborted fetuses really bothers me. I just can't imagine not having our family together, so 4 more years of Air Force life, and 2 more adoptions then we can make educated choices and determine what we need and what we don't. But, I do know many friends in the adoption community bringing home kids with Hep B and not telling their friends and family. So to be vaccinated is important. I will decide later. :) But I love Parenting Freedom's explanation of why spanking isn't biblical, homeschooling, staying at home, cry it out, sharing sleep, babywearing, and obviously attachment parenting. It is all related in my head. I think it is all natural and obvious.
