The Bad — It is been a tough few months. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It has been a surreal journey over the past 12 months. It manifests itself with fast and sever dementia and issues with balance, walking. She had been at an assisted Living Community and was recently hospitalized and moved to a nursing facility. We are hoping that she recovers enough to return to assisted living.
And… our adoption agency is closing. That was a heartbreaking. The Director is retiring. All of thier files have been moved to ASIA. The references came back positive. So we are hoping for the best.
The Same — Adoption paperwork marches on… it is that time of year. All of our renewals are due.
The Good – This might be the last time for paperwork! China has referred babies through June 30, 2006. We are on deck and it could be late this year that we get pictures for our baby.
