GOCCHA DAY #2

years go today is the day we go Z for Maima
So we had a celebration on the the weekend . We took all her cousins to nickle cade and it was so sun. Then today we had a little party at her pre school class. I talked about Haiti ans the earth quack, and adoption. The i open the decussion up for questions. First 5 year old boy says I am going to Chicago to see my girlfriend but i will be back. next kid My brother has a belly ache. Next little girlMy grand ma lives here. So with all those questions out of the way i gave them a treat bag and was on my way.

Tonight we went to see beauty and the beast in 3D Z loved it. Then we came home and we gave her a gift. A v tech reader. And R got me flowers. What a grat gaccha day

almost There

So we have started the process to make Z a citizen. Do to the circumstance on the way she came home from HAiti this step was not done. (LOng story) any who , we are getting ready to send in the paper work to get this done. For those of you who read my blog and are not familar with the process we have to take Z to a civil surgeon. This is a doctor who has been trained to fill out a form for the USCIS (imagration) . I took her there last week only to find out that she had to get 4 shots.UGGG so I had the TB test done and made a doctors appointment to see her regular doc. She was not happy at all and my mothers gulit was in full force at the doc. appointment and i told Z she could get any toy see wanted (with in reason) once we were done.

So we went back to the civil surgeon on Tue. and was able to see the doc. he looked her over checked her shot records and filled out the form. So now we have to fill out more forms and send in the medical forms.

Filling out these form have made me laugh some of the questions we have to answer, keep in mind these questions are asked about Z's intentions in the USA.

Have you EVER with in the past 10 years been a prostitue or procured anyone for prostitution, or intend to engage in such activities in the future?
Do you plan to practice polygamy in the United States?
Killng a person?
Associated with the Nazi party?
This is just a sample of the questions. made me laugh.
So we will send in all the forms and hopfully everything will go great and we will be done.
