Paperwork to St Lucys and Birthday Girl

Done! The paperwork is done and will be at St Lucy's Center in Tainan for pre-approval by November 1. Also, Heartsent is letting us send a birthday gift to Yu-Lin for her 5th birthday on November 6. I had asked if we could send something anonymously, since I knew it would be presumptuous to send something from her new family when we didn’t even have pre-approval. Alex and I decided on a playmobil set that opens to a dollhouse. We made sure the princess had dark hair.

Paperwork - Round 2

Bal Jagat was not thrilled. They are still our homestudy agency, so it’s not like they are going to lose money, but the attitude was begrudging. Linda who did our homestudy in January has taken a break, and so we have been assigned to a new social worker for the update (I knew this was not going to be simple). In addition to much of the paperwork needing to be redone for Taiwan (all references to China need to go), much of the paperwork needs to be notarized. We also need to attend classes. Alex wanted to come to some of the classes even though they were boring for him. He wants to be a part of everything...even sitting around for 2 days waiting for criminal clearance from the sherriffs office.
