Nana...sorry to hear you feel like you're talking to yourself. I subscribed to this thread but they never emailed me about it until today.
It must have been hard on your two fd's to see the other one leaving. It must be awful for the one moved too. Being moved to a new home and getting seperated is hard enough, nevermind the having to leave toys and other stuff behind.
On the other hand...
About the NB...that is so nice to hear, I can't wait to get a call about our "baby".
Life over at our house has had it's ups and downs. The boys no longer have their weekly visits with their aunt and so that caused some issues. The oldest really reacted outwards in a negative manner after he heard that, didn't want to listen at home and almost got suspended from school. BUT, after breaking down to hubby and crying, he's been doing much better. It was actually the first time he's cried for sadness since the first week he arrived, he likes to hold his feelings of hurt inside and only release feeling of joy or anger.
This Sunday is the Adoption Resource Exchange (ARE) in Toronto. The boys will be profiled at the exchange as children that are available for "fostering-to-adopt". Since they have a lot stacked against them, it is unlikely they will get picked by anyone. Which, although sad, may be a good thing as it means they will not be moving to another home yet again.
Also regarding the exchange, our adoption worker will be looking to see if there are any prospective little native girls that would fit our requirements/wants. She is somewhat hopeful as native kids often are profiled at the exchange as they are considered harder to be adopted. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that she will find someone that may suit us.
So, that's my life.... How about you Meg???
