Update on doctor appt

I had to check in with the doctor's office 48 hrs after getting my TB prick and everything looks good. The doctor's office had received all my results except for the HIV. My cholesterol was very good, happy about that. Chris didn't get to talk to the nurse about his results when he went back to get checked for his TB.

I did receive some bad news though. My doctor is on vacation this week and next. So he can't sign the paperwork until he gets back the first week of August. So much for "my" plan to get everything done and off by the end of July. God has a different plan!

I do have the social worker's license and child abuse background check in my hands so that is taken care of. We also sent a letter this week to AAI to cancel our services and Ukraine program with them. We will still use them though for our post adoption reports and any updates we need done on our home study.

Today I read of another family returning from the Ukraine without a child. It makes me so angry. They were wanting a girl, and did visit one in the orphanage after their second interview. They sent the medical info to their doctor here in the USA and decided not to adopt her. So very sad. I wish other families were seeing this and boycotting Ukraine so they would change their program to give referrals so families aren't paying thousands to go there and return home with no child. It seems very hard for me to believe there are no healthy children in the orphanages. But I also feel terrible for these children who are being left behind...I have noticed some agency's now stating under their Ukraine program guidelines that Ukraine is a good program if you are willing to be flexible in the age and health of a child or want a sibling group. So keep that in mind.

Staci and Damon are still waiting for their 2nd appt in the Ukraine. They are wanting a little boy and are open to siblings, I believe. Pray that they will find their little boy soon. This will be the beginning of their family. Until the next update,
