You don't have to be good, silly! The outcome is sort of irrelevant. It's the process. You learn and do together! Just get back into your 5th and 6th grade self. You'll be great! I'm excited for you.
Thank you Julie and Michelle; great ideas Michelle. I have already started to buy arts and craft supplies because I hear she likes that kind of stuff. It is not my best area but I sure can try. :-)
I just got word that our home study is finally done! So we'll be sending in our I800A soon. I hope CIS doesn't take 4 months to do ours. We really want our kids home by Christmas.
Congratulations Amy! No real tips. Maybe just beef up on things that 10 year old girls like. For conversation or to bring her something small. Jonas Brothers? Hannah Montana? Goosebumps books. Magic Treehouse books. Beverly Clearly. TV shows: Nickal…
Hi Amy, no tips, just congratulations and best wishes. I hope that everything else in your life comes together so that you have time to enjoy your new daughter.
Hi All, been a long time since I have posted. After waiting for over 1 1/2 years, I have been matched with an almost 10 year old little girl. I should be meeting her sometime in August. I am a bit nervous (for obvious reasons) but also because I hav…

Why the new look? I preferred the original look (green with the photos at the top.) I found it more friendly and welcoming.
Thanks again for setting up the site. It was clearly needed.
I'm using Internet Explorer. It is the only group I have problems with and it's the home page. I got a comment sent to me and clicked on it from my email and it went straight to the group no problem. When I tried to go to the home page for the group I got the same problem again. Don't know what to do. Should I delete the group and rejoin another time?
Thanks,
Christi
Thank you so much for starting up this wonderful website! Until now, I've struggled alot to be comfortable sharing my adoption story. With the encouragement & support of others who can relate to what I went through, it's becoming much easier & I'm feeling a sense of relief at not having to keep it so secret anymore! This site is truly a blessing! ( :
