New hope

So we had the home study session with our other daughter who is on the border about adoption but more leaning towards no adoption.  I guess the older the kids are the more they think about themselves.  How is this going to effect them?  How will the new child fit into their schedule or lifestyle?  I'm sure some grown children are ok with it but I figure most are not.  Most would say there is no room for another child under this roof.  That is our daughter's concern too.  Where are we going to put the child since all three of our grown children are still at home, plus their cousin moved in, temporarily until she gets back up on her feet.  We made space for her so all the rooms are taken.  So, where shall we put another child?  Well, is sharing a room unheard of?  How quickly they forget that once upon a time they sharted a room with another sibling. Did they really forget about it already?  They shared a room and they survived sharing what they have.  It's what we taught them; to share so where is all this coming from?

In regards to the agency which we've not signed up with; we're still thinking over in regards to the extra twenty thousand they were asking for.  In the meantime our social worker just told us that two more agencies just got accredited in Russia; one not in the right region but the other, maybe.  The other is checking right now with their team in L's homeland to see if there is anything they can do about requesting L's file.  Wouldn't that be something?  If things suddenly all fell into place, the way they were always meant to be.  I think it's only a matter of time. 

I see that the Usynovite website has changed L's file photo to the one where she's wearing the red dress I sent her.  She looks beautiful of course. I know she's not mine but God willing she will be. I will do all I can to stop her from being "transferred" only because they have to watch her diet.
