"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Woohoo! Shouldn't be much longer now. How wonderful to finally have your whole family together.
Sounds like you are almost there! I think it's perfectly normal to feel like you have...not quite ready. It's such a big adjustment, and I kno you've had your hands full with Ve coming home. First year=hard.
BTW Ava has confirmed to me that they knew each other before they came to the O.
Hoorah! Very promising email. It sounds like smooth sailing from here.
Aves, that is so exciting! Having fostered I have to admit it always took me a few months to find my rhythm and the kids too. I found it happened quicker when I was off work then back within a couple of weeks. That was the hardest part of fostering for me, no FMLA. Then once I had the opportunity for unpaid leave I took it, it was much easier. As Ve and Mim's homecomings are so close together are you entitled to FMLA?
It's always such a relief to get an email and know that they at the very least have everything and are reviewing it all.
Praying for approval soon!
