Today I learned that our second record was spent in the room for review. Taken a step in the long and protracted process that is adoption. For those who do not know what the "review room", it is actually a step that allows the CCAA to check if our dossier is in China for the adoption. The record of Gilles Dad, Mum and Christine grand daughter Alice is now on a shelf somewhere to wait before they match the record of Baby Juliet. So it was a good news but at the same time, this does not mean that we are on the verge of having our new record because currently, the delays are about 45 months and we have only been 13 months so ...
Also, I wanted to share some tidbits on my really great little girl that I bothered to measure a few minutes ago. So here's to Alice:
February 11, 2009 it measured 89 cm and weighed 29 pounds
March 12, 2010 it measures 98 cm and weighs 33 pounds.
Tonight we went to storytime at our library and some people told me that my daughter grew, she really looks like a little girl and not a baby now. Some people have also noted how she looked at ease to express themselves and assertive. You have no idea how I thought it asserts itself inside ...
Indeed, last night I had the great, great pleasure of having dinner with my girlfriend Suzie. I really like him and it was time that we did not seen for a dinner chatter. Guess what we talked about? Of course, our husbands .... and our lovely girls. I told him how I live, since the arrival of Alice, moments I could describe as "difficult" and I felt like being alone in this situation. She then spoke of a certain blog Tinkerbell and reading it this morning so I was reassured. Not that I do not appreciate the beautiful and good news, beautiful and wonderful stories but reading the blogs of adoption, it is rare that it tells the little things (or big things) that we capsize, we boulversent or we even angry. Attitudes, behaviors posed by our love that are puzzling, unanswered with a HUGE point? in the forehead. You live in times like these? Well, I am announcing that yes! I am not talking here crisettes here and there. I speak of my beloved daughter who since the age of 14 months hit me for no reason appears. Besides, she does it with the most beautiful smile and that is because I never told him banned or something because I removed him something precious hands. Especially when we're both stuck, when we play together or when I'm just in my arms for béquotter. And always with the most radiant smiles! I read a bunch of stuff on the subject but nothing that gives me the ultimate solution to stop this behavior, which I admit makes me sad, makes me angry and leaves me perplexed. I try to take everything with a grain of salt but it's hard to ignore all this, not to think that it may be directly related to the fact that she was abandoned, adopted, uprooted. ..
Well, I wanted share this slice of life with you my dear readers. This is not to complain .... oooh! no! Just to say that sometimes it happens that the process of waiting is not the only difficult step in the adoption process! But still, this experience is the most beautiful in all my life and my daughter is the thing I love most in the world. I hope that you can not imagine that my Chinese beauty is a mad little monster as you can imagine that in retrospect, there is always the following sentence: "Excuse me Mom! I have not done explès" It ... is cute anyway!
I just make a small correction on my message (March 13). I did not say but I will meet a specialist in international adoption this Thursday to help me solve this little problem .... this is a psychologist that I had the great fortune to know in my school. She worked with Dr. Chicoine and his office is a clinic which is called the Loupiots Sherbrooke. This is a multidisciplinary clinic : http://www.cmlesloupiots.com/ here is the link to get them interested.
PS: Karine I wanted to show you that my daughter will do looove making cheep cheep!
