Faithful Mommy

Well, what are friends for?

I mean really, I want to be a good friend. So, when my friends hubby calls and asks me if I will help him out for her birthday - I say yes. It gets really good from here!!!! He wants to surprise her with a massage, manicure and dinner. He wants to know if I want to go along for the ride ( all expenses paid)!!!!!!!! He will stay home and watch their four children... while we go on a girls day.   HMMMMMM! let me think. AH YEA YAH!!!

That's my kind of friends!!!! Thanks T.
We had a great time and K. was very surprised.

Deaf school

Another question we get is whether we will leave Six in Deaf school, which is a residential school.
That means- she sleeps there Monday through Thursday and is home on week-ends. And the answer is....

We don't know.

There is so much to learn about her, what her needs are, what will work best for her and overall. For now, I know the Deaf school has been great for her. She has had no one to communicate with at the foster home. So, she is in her element at the school.

Yes, it is very hard to imagine your child living somewhere else during the week, only seeing her on the week-ends. If it is best for her, we will do it though. We would prefer for her to be able to come and go daily, but not sure if that will be too hard on her and us.

I would love to have the opportunity to home school her for at least a year. That would allow us time to bond as a family, for her feel like she is a part of the family and time for us to focus on things she may need help on.

So, we will see.

Waiting...

on paperwork!!!!! We are still waiting for that precious little girl. Paperwork seems to be the hold up. There is a certain paper that needs to go from point A to B back to A then C and D and finally to E which is where little Six is waiting for us.

One of the big questions we get is whether she even knows about us yet. I don't have a clue!!! However, she is about to. They had me send some pictures of the family so they could show them to her. That has me excited. It makes it seem like there is at least some progress. I really feel like we will finally meet her/bring her home in the next week or two.

There is a sweet lady in our church that has already made preparations for a new Sunday school to start the first Sunday we have Six. There is another Deaf girl there and they will teach them together instead of mainstreaming them into the regular classes. This is so exciting, because it will be great for Six and the other girl. God is so good.

More tomorrow. I promise. I am actually writing the post in a few minutes!!!
