ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD
BUT FOR THAT CHILD THE WORLD WILL CHANGE
To give away money is an easy matter and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large, and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in any man’s power nor an easy matter…

Complete Homestudy

We got our completed home study back yesterday and I have to say Sallie did a WONDERFUL job. Not only of describing the problems with Jay's ex wife but also with the silly arrest I had a few centuries ago. As many of you know it was so silly, wrong place, wrong time.. I bit a guys hand! But our original home study was written in such a way that after the initial introduction to who we were and who the home study agency was.. the very first paragraph went straight into the arrest and was written in such way that our home study had actually gotten rejected from one of the orphanages in Taiwan stating that I was a rapist!! I had begged the original home study person to re-write this paragraph and as her statement was so bold and made things seem like it was some crazy crime I had gotten involved in. But Sallie wrote it so perfect!! It states the facts without making the incident seem important. I have to say, "Thank you, Sallie!"
I am very excited today and hope I can make it through the day but later tonight, our time, is morning in Taiwan and Mia and Li-Ling, Mia's mom, are going to Cathwel to bring the gifts for Cooper that we sent over! Mia is going to check out his size so we can get him some new tennis shoes also!!
I also ran into a friend from the past yesterday at the grocery store and told her that I was about done with school but needed a job, any job, right now so I could put the travel money together for getting to Taiwan. A few hours later she called me about the most perfect job for me!... I am waiting for her to get back to me today as she was calling her friend that is head of one of our elderly health care facilities very close to my house about a marketing position. I know, I know.. I went to nursing school.. but the thing is that the position requires background in nursing! And the woman that is giving up the position has none.. and they were fine with that.. so they might be fine with the fact that I am a new nurse! So please say a prayer for me that this position works out because is sounds like a job that I am already qualified for-marketing.. and I could continue my nursing education by having a set schedule job!

I just got off the yahoo chat with Mia... it is night there.. but she said they are not going to Cathwel until Tuesday. I guess her mom is having some pains in her hands and has a doctor appointment on Monday. So I will have to hold my excitement for another day!!
