BIG News!!!!

We received the approval today from the State of Michigan!!!!!!  The boys will move in as soon as we can get it arranged!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WHOOT WHOOT!!!

 

LOTS OF TEARS OF JOY TODAY!!!

We cannot wait to tell them tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!! So excited!!!!!!!

Soon...isn't SOON enough!

Many have asked us when the boys will be with us permanently the answer is: 

All of the paperwork has been sent in to the State of Michigan and we are just waiting for approval.  As soon as we hear that we are approved, the boys could technically move in that day.  However, I do think it will take a day or so to get make it happen.

The typical wait is about 45 days, this takes us into July. Our June 15th date is not looking promising.  However, we are so impressed with Bethany - they got done in less than 30 day what it took the other agency almost 2 years to accomplish! YAHOO!!!

Tonight we had Family Therapy.  We were each given a drawing of a heart and a brain, after explanation of the differences between thoughts and feelings we had to write down three things that we think about a lot or worry about and three things we are feeling.

The outcome is that the boys are HAPPY to have a family, ready to all us MOM & DAD, EXCITED to be moving in soon, ANXIOUS about some of the changes taking place. Their thoughts and feelings almost exactly matched our own and we learned a lot about each others thoughts and feelings.

So, thank you for asking, the answer is: SOON. 

The kids ask us too....and we tell them SOON.

Soon we tell them...but we all are feeling it....soon just isn't SOON ENOUGH!!
