teens....

in case you didn't know, we also have a 14yr old boy at our house...................this is his second time here. He had been doing pretty good, but something has snapped (probably hormones). Fourteen yr olds are just aliens in human disguise.

I flipped last night. We got ANOTHER call from his teacher. Previously his teacher wrote in his book that all his teachers have complained about his excessive talking and disrupting class, even though they have told him to stop. Well, now parents are complaining!!! Just great. Between his bad mouth (cursing) and his lying, not too mention using the money that he "finds" in the middle of my living room floor..............now his teacher says he was poking girls waists. He says she poked him first..............it was innocent................so he says......not like the teacher said (he was standing there when she called)...............I really don't need this!!! he has worked off the money he took (though he doesn't think taking without permission is stealing), now DH has decided no basketball til after exams this week......which means he is with me---gggrrrrr!!! His mom is not in town much, so that doesn't help. I really don't know what to do with all the cultivated bad habits.

God is working!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our 3 babies in waiting for their forever families.........keep praying that the paperwork and court dates get done quickly so they can go home!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I sit here and type, my boys are watching TV (some weird Japanese program, but it's in Chinese). P, our newbie nanny is feeding baby A and baby C is in a portable rocker type thing in front of me. He is trying to sleep I think (either that or pooping!!). My Anna is sleeping. We start homeschooling soon (I hope I don't get distracted!!)


We recently had someone put our site and information on her blog that she runs for unwed mom's needing to find homes for baby. We had some comments about our adopting to Christians only. They had really good things to say about the big name Catholic organizations here, but about the Christian ones, we are brainwashing kids and tricking moms to sending their kids to our "cult" or whatever. I wrote back and said that we never forced anyone to ask us to help them, the moms do it on their own. I did have good comments back then, but it was kinda funny.


We are working on some information packets so when we get our house going we can send it out. Yup, a house!!! We found one and hope by end of December have it up and running. Pray as we need resources to get cribs, beds, furnishings..................God has broughht us this far!!

Paperwork....

I always get nervous around paperwork time. I just feel that I am missing something and going to mess something up or cause things to draw out longer. And with the infants in our care right now, we want them out ASAP!!:-) Not that we don't love them, but for them to with their forever family and the family experience all the firsts, though I can handle experiencing the first sleeping through the night.

All the paperwork we have for our 3 current cases our out there, relying on the mail system and the court system. Unfortunately, neither are reliable!LOL!!.........our courts here don't have family court so we kinda just line up I guess. Technically the law states 2-4weeks after registration to have a court date, not have court appearance, but a date for court appearance. So, fun, it is out of my hands though. Here is where you prayer warriors come in handy:-)

I may post beginning of the new year some things that are happening resource wise for Morning Light Home. They might be considered good, and might not for some. But God has been opening doors.

Keep praying for our cases.I hope to post pix sometime soon.
