Dr's, Dr's, and more Dr's
For two very healthy people we are having to schedule lots, and lots of Doctors appointments. We have to go see our primary care Dr. again for an updated medical. Mind you we already saw these Dr's back in July for an adoption physical! Now, I am also scheduling an appointment to go see an Oncologist to make sure that neither of us has cancer, and an appointment with a Psychiatrist to find out if either of us is crazy. I want to tell them, all of this is what is making me crazy!!!!! I will let you know once we hear back that we are cancer free and crazy free....... Also, yesterday I went to the Police dept to find out if either of us has a criminal history, or have committed a crime in the past 3 months because again I have already taken the time, and paid the money once to have these forms completed. I was glad to see my husband is free and clear of any crimes, I on the other hand received a speeding ticket, and no seat belt ticket since the last time they pulled records. Thank God they did not include that on the form. Although, in Russia it is probably not what they are looking for considering no one wears seatbelts, they do not even put children in car seats, and they all play by their own traffic rules. You should see the driving in Russia.....
We have not heard any updates on a court date which will determine our return trip, and no weight updates on Wyatt. He will be weighed on January 11th and Irina will email me at that time with an update. It has been a hard week... I miss the little guy, and the last couple of nights I have gone into his room, turned on the lamp and sat in the glider. The glider we have decided to put in his room was in my grandmother's living room, and has been in my own living room until this past weekend when we decided to move it into Wyatt's room. It brings me a lot of comfort, and I feel her in the room with me! GiGi and grandaddy both would have been so excited for this new addition in to our family. I guess as you prepare for a new life, it is a good time to reflect on past lives, and I find myself missing them a lot.

Please try not to let this all get you down. You have a beautiful event just around the corner...please let that keep you smiling! You both are incredibly strong and when you don't feel like you are, please remember God is there to give you both strength! We have continued to pray over you all and won't let up! I pray that you both support and encourage one another!! Make time for some date nights...it will be awhile before you will have time or want to do it again for awhile (at least we didn't). If you need anything, we are only a phone call away!
We love you all very much!

Too bad they couldn't just take the word of some of your friends on if ya'll are crazy or not. Doesn't there have to be a little crazy in all of us to survive this whole adoption process? I can't believe you're having to get an update on your health from July, "that is crazy" and "they" want to know if ya'll are crazy? Kinda makes you go hmmmm? Doesn't it? It really is something, when we went to the hospital to have Jared they just let us walk out with him, no fingerprinting, no background check for criminal activity or child abuse, no physicals to see if we were healthy, no w-2s to see if we could provide, nope notta nothing just walked right out. Now when we adopted Larry (rescued greyhound for those who read the comments and don't know us) We had a home visit, our references checked, signed our lives away saying we wouldn't give him away or if we did the Greyhound people would get him, all before Larry ever got to come and live with us. I'm with ya it seems a little excessive but then what are ya gonna do? You just gotta cross all those t's jump through all the hoops. Like your friends the Scotts say we are praying for you all like "crazy" every day! You think it's tough on you guys at least you're working doing things preparing for Wyatt while the rest of us are "going crazy" wishing their was something we could do to help you in some small way! Your book is going to be fatter than mine since you're having to have more documentation. I wonder if this means Wyatt is some little genius and they just want to make sure his superior intelligence and charm will not be stifled from that southern drawl sounding couple from Oklahoma? :) I feel your pain! We continue to pray and pray! Love to you 3,

Remember that glimmer you had in your eyes and in your smile that night we picked you and Justin up from the airport after your long journey to meet your precious little one and you showed off those pictures and video (late that night), well just remember how you felt and all the happiness you had and the time will pass really fast. Wyatt is so lucky to have parents like you, you will make a wonderful mom and Justin a great dad.............even though you are both a little crazy, but we want tell anyone! When it comes to children we have to have some craziness in us. I think of you and Justin daily and Wyatt and how exciting it will be when he comes home and look foward to many, many fun times together.
Lots of hugs and kisses,
The Bostick Bunch
