May Blog

     Some people blog daily or weekly but not me I guess I'm the type of blogger that blog monthly. The real reason that I haven't blogged is because around the beginning of May we were updated that both the CIC investigation (Canadian government) and the accreditation process (South African government) are still not finished. The CIC will give another update in mid July to say that they are either done their investigation or still investigating. I also don't really know what they are investigating? We have been told that its just routine, to make sure that everything is happening properly. The accreditation process our agency and many, many others are waiting for social workers to be approved to work under the new laws and regulations that South Africa has put into place. I just hope and pray that these governments can get things moving and children that are getting older can be placed with their forever families.
     Not only are we waiting on these 2 things now some of our paper work such as criminal record checks and others have reached the 1 year mark. (expired) So we have to update these things but I'm waiting a bit because nothing can happen until mid-July anyways. So tough knowing that we started this journey over a year ago. I really did think that we would have our child/children home this summer to be able to watch them play in the lake with KK and Jumping Jack.
    We have been keeping busy and that does help pass the time. Jumping Jack is almost finished with dance competitions now just the recital left. KK just can't wait to get the camper out and go camping. The trees in our yard are flowering now they smell and look gorgeous! The weather is getting nicer and I will start planting flowers and veggies soon. Almost to the last month of school that means kindergrad, field trips and fun. So I'm sure June will fly by. Please continue to pray that these governments can get there stuff done quickly so that children can be brought home to their forever families.
