Hi everyone, its been awhile since I last posted and I wanted to update everyone on our adoption progress. We are getting the word from our social worker that it should be by the end of this month that we will be able to sign the papers and legally adopt her!! We cant wait!! Our social worker has shown us all her medical history and asside from numerous visits to the ER, she has no long term issues healthwise. It will take some time to gain her confidence to work on her mental and emotional problems but we will work on that when the time comes.
As I mentioned in my last post, she still has issues and I am not sure exactly how to manage. She is still not completely potty trained and I am looking for some suggestions on how to deal with that when driving. We did purchace a Regent and she has plenty of room to grow and wont be needing to buy anything else for a long time. Is there anyone thats had an older child that still has problems when in the car or traveling? At home we are doing alot of reminding and prasing but its a bit different in the car. Right now, I just have her seat lined with towels with a garbage bag underneath them and while it does help a little, I cant help but notice how uncomfortable it would make her to have to sit in it.
I appreciate all the suggestions you can offer me and I would like to ask if some of you can pray for me to make the adoption process as quick and painless as possible. Thank you everyone for your time!
