Austin is headed out in a few hours to spend the night with a friend, and then leave at 5am to go to Minnesota for a youth conference. He is headed way up north for the first time, and this will be the first he flies in an airplane. Yikes! Believe or not! (believe it) I am nervous for him, but rest assured, I have said nothing to him about it. I am acting like any other normal mother would in preparation for a trip. I refuse to even give a hint of my anxiety to him, lest he befall into the pit his mother has occupied for so long. Nathan has assured and reassured me that he will be fine and that I am utterly weird and bordering on lunacy. (nothing you or I didn't already know)
My littlest baby (Dania) has her citizenship appt. early Friday morning in Atlanta. This will be the end of the paper chase for us. She may walk out with her paperwork or it will be mailed to us. In the event that something is askew with her paperwork, it should not be to hard to resolve it from this point out. I have been nervous about this as well, trying to get everything in order, run all over the city of Atlanta getting physicals and paperwork. I also had to get stuff translated and forms filled out. She is the first one in the group that works with my agent to go through the process, so we are the guinea pigs. I pray everything is in order and this chapter can be closed.
I will still have to readopt her in the state of Ga, but that is not a necessity. I do want her to have a US birth certificate and not have any hang ups in the future with drivers licenses, marriage cert. etc, so we will proceed with stateside adoption. She will be a full fledged American citizen on Friday.
