11 days to go!!!

I feel very antzie today. Need to chat with someone about my upcoming visit to my kids. Can't seem to catch any one on facebook :o( It is however a very beautiful day today. I am so thankful for that. For the first time in it seems like a long time everyone is feeling well. YIPEE!!!! I can't wait until we can all spend all day outside. I can't believe that in a few days I will be looking into my children's eyes and they will be looking back into mine. It seems unreal.

16 Days till I make my visit

I am so excited to meet the children. In some ways the time is going to be here before I know it. At the same time it feels like it is never going to get here. Trying to come with things different from what they might do at the orphanage, with out having to use a lot of my space in my bags. A couple things I am doing is taking hair stuff to fix the girls hair. Also, I found the cutest wooden paper doll set from LDT Commodites. Cute little outfits that stay on with magnets. It is nice because we can play dolls and dress them up and yet they will lay flat in the suit case. It is harder for me to come up with anything unique for Liam. Anyone with ideas would be welcome.

Gabgets good if they work

I want to be better at keeping my blog, but getting it set up is a frustrating pain. I have set this countdown gadget six times and it still won't save!! GRRRRR Any way 19 days and counting until I will see my sweet babies. Trying to decide what to take and do with the kids. I don't know what they will have there to do with them. Don't want to use un-needed space in my travel bags. Seems many of the orphanages are pretty well equiped with toy and things.

Saturday 27th 2010

Okay, I have been told that I need to update my blog. I am going to try and do just that. I am not very good at writing anything very interesting. It is always very hard for me to put my feeling into word. We have had many,many ups and downs with this adoption. No need to relive it. The important things is we are finally ready to go and meet our children for the first time. I leave March 2oth for Bulgaria. I am so very excited to meet the kids for the first time and hold them and to look into those beautiful brown eyes.

Such a mixture of emotion. Sorrow and sadness at leaving my family behind her and excitment at see Danielle, Abigail and Liam.

The first step is done. I have tickets bought and have started my list of things to take. Actually I started doing that a long time ago.

I have had a very frustrating day

Problems with our I-800A. As I waited hoping to get approval soon, I did hear from them but, no approval :o( Delays!!!!!! After reviewing our HS they have decided since my sister lives next door to us, they want us to provide interview with home study provider,back ground checks and USCIS finger printing. UGH!!! And they want all cleared document in 45 days. Our back ground checks took a month. Took take forever just to get through the I-800A part of it :o( And next week I will be leaving for Chicago for Eli's cleft surgery and won't be back until the following Monday. Please say a little prayer over our I-800.

Day of Frustration

I don't know how all of you do such an amazing job keeping your blogs. I am not so good :o) I am so ready to get the dossier out of my hands and over to to our facilitator. This hole Hague thing is so confusing to me. I have spend unnecessary money on things. Fingerprints three time and the last one which was 105.00 really won't do us any good since there was no request for the print card and stamp. Another slip up on my part. I am afraid this time around I am going to mess up and cost us more than money, but also valuable time. UGH!!

USCIS FINGER PRINTING

Tomorrow my honey and I will head to Kansas City Missouri to get our finger printing done. Hoping that it won't take to long to get it back. Originally we got a cancellation letter that was very confusing. It had cancelled in bold and then continued to tell us to appear in Fort Smith Arkansas on July 9th. I called ASC to see what I was suppose to do. I also, ask why we were going to Fort Smith when K.C. was closer to us. She was wonderful!!! She took my number and checked on it. She called K.C. and they said they have an open door policy and to have us bring our letter and they would take care of us. Which is great since they had rescheduled us for July 30. It has take us long to pull this dossier together than any of our adoption. I am sooo ready to get Danielle and Liam home with us.
