It's in their eyes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER J

Panda in the dark blue, she looks to be doing better than a few months ago

BUT

Cheetah in the pink appears to be much less happy than a few months ago.

This confirms to me what I will be doing in the next few weeks. Assembling a new dossier for Cheetah. I was planning on re-using the same as Panda's. The word was Cheetah would then come home 5 - 7 months after Panda..BUT after reading this post by another adoptive parent:

"i hope you don't mind me poking my nose in here, but we struggled
with that same question when we tried to add our daughter D to
our file already in IBESR ~ we were told we could, then we tried &
couldn't & then were told we could resubmit the dossier for her after
we were out of IBESR...nope, then they said after courts...nope, then
they said after legalization...nope, then MOI...because everyone else
along the way wanted to see it...finally, we were able to resubmit it
14 MONTHS later...she has now been in for 3 weeks...

i guess what i'm saying is that i *highly* recommend you go through
whatever it takes to assemble a new dossier...i have kicked myself a
million times for not going with my gut & doing that instead of
listening to the "people who know" who kept saying "just a little bit
longer"..."

I have decided that I will be assembling and paying to set up a whole new dossier for Cheetah...I don't think either of us can wait 14 + more months for her to come home.

ASSEMBLING WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!
