It is good to expect a re-do, just so you can say, "yep, I saw this coming," rather than, "you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! They want me to send them what!?!

That's a big step out of the way -...Yeah whooo! That's a big step out of the way - even it you have to take a couple more baby steps to finish up. Maybe they'll be happy with the package and get the dossier in the right hands. I've got my fingers crossed for you.<br /><br />And I agree with you about fighting so hard for our children even before you bring them home. Because you are so right, there will be times when she won't fit into the boxes society wants us all to fit into and you'll have to fight for her right to be different. Even the simplest boxes in life are sometimes not easy for IA kids. When I was filling out a medical form for Lexie's ear tube surgery, the nurse called me to ask what her nationality was since I had checked other, as they didn't have a box for Kazakh. When I explained where she's from she said "oh I'll just put China." Oh no, she's not from China and you won't "just put anything!" I was really surprised I needed to ask someone in the medical profession to be sensitive to someones race but those darn boxes had to be checked!!<br /><br />So you certainly have the right attitude. Just make it happen no matter how may times you have to check the box that says no you don't have leprosy (my personal favorite from the Kaz Medical form!) and remember who you are doing it for....your darling little girl. It's worth a hundred forms!!<br /><br />Hope you are on another long plan ride soon.<br /><br />Happy Holidays,<br />Lou Ann & Lexie tooLou Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240566827986460210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15097409536912108.post-36062921949974570472009-12-15T21:25:15.057-06:002009-12-15T21:25:15.057-06:00Congratulations!
