kyburgOkay, you know who's birthday it is today.
And you know where I went this evening. And you know how frickin' on my last nerve I've been about this whole adoption thing.
They want us to get through the home study process as soon as possible. They have two boys in Taiwan they'd like to consider as placements for us.
We could be parents by Memorial Day. Like, six years to the weekend Jim came out here to live with me. And have the second placement from China before the end of the year.
I could have my kids - both of them - by the end of summer.
All I had to do was find a better agency. All I had to do was turn to the internet.
*blows air* Folks, this is how I found Jim. On my last nerve and ready to throw in the towel. So I go looking on the internet -
Yeah, I know when Cliff's been by. Shit happens.
Little shit.
(The only thing holding up the process is funding - which is a matter of process now, I talked to the loan officer this afternoon. I'm detailing the house tomorrow - and getting things cleaned up, no other way to put it. Expect fund raising to start in earnest ASAP.)
I'm going to Taiwan. I'm going to China.
I am. So stoked.
And...unbelieveably relieved. Finally.

It is sad that you've had to go overseas when I know for a fact that we have so many here in the US, but because of our stupid systems from State to State, it is harder to adopt across State lines than it is children from another country.
Cosmic stuff...cool huh?

Arthritis or not, by the Gods we are going to do this somehow.
