So I'm back. Been a great week of rest. While we were gone, we got out fingerprint approval. It's on to the Secretary of State of Florida for signatures. They will authentic our package. It will be in the mail by Monday. Also while we were gone, we discovered that a teacher has a problem with our adoption. Can you believe that? This person discussed it with Angie's parents. I guess she thought her almighty words would convince us not to adopt. Guess she would be really upset if she found out we might adopt two if we can.
During our vacation, we talked to a woman about our adoptions. She broke down in tears for what we were doing. I like these kind of discussions. At least she understands what we are trying to do. Angie found out that our chance of adopting two might have increased. Not only that, but the child we are considering has a grant available. This child is 11 years old. I think she will fit in nicely with our family. We still have to talk to the agency and let the girls know. I'll have to keep you up to date when more info is available.
We found out that China has changed some of the rules for post adoptions also. A couple of years ago, they placed rule that all families adopting had to agree to a number of post placement reports. We had to do one at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years. Possibly 6, I can't remember. All of these had to be done through a social worker. The new rule is that 4-6, or something like that, can now be written by the parents and sent to the agency, who will forward to China. That will help some. We are happy to share the progress of the children with China.
