Post Placement visit
Today we had a post placement visit completed by our local agency, so that she could create the report and have it sent to our Adoption agency in February so they can translate it and have it sent to Russia by the 1st of March. We will have to do this once a year for 2 more years and then we are done.
The thing about this visit today is that Wyatt has a black eye. Do not ask me how he got a black eye because we have no idea!?!?! We put him to bed Friday night, did not notice anything and Saturday morning I went to get him out of the crib, and there it was. So of course last night this dawns on me, and I say to Justin " Oh my what do we do?" I even thought about patching that eye today to cover it, but decided against it. It all worked out because all that worry for nothing, she never even asked about his eye. I tried to take a picture, and post because that is his first boo boo, but it did not show up on the camera! It is about gone, and by this weekend probably no traces left. I know I should not be concerned about scrapes, and bruises that all children especially boys will get, but I am concerned. With all the hype in the news while we were in Russia, and since we have been home about US citizens adopting Russian children, and then neglecting them or abusing them, I guess I am a little paranoid!
I do not want anything on record, because I really am trying to talk my husband into having another baby. Of course at this point we are trying to decide how this will look. Will it be a local adoption, will it be another international, will it be a newborn, will I say I want a girl, will I say it does not matter? These are all the questions we are pondering. I have started praying about this again, and I know in God's time we will learn of the plan for us. I know some of you will think so soon, but the reality is nothing will happen quickly especially if we do local, newborn, little girl. That would be a 2+ year wait probably, and at that point Wyatt would be 4!
That is about it for the mid week update......

Wow look what a day brings! A sibling for Wyatt! I know it feels good to have that post placement done. I certainly understand about timing with adoption you just never know how long it will take and Wyatt's second birthday is coming up! :) You go girl!
I wouldn't be so sure about that timeline you're thinking. Domestic adoption doesn't take that long!
I am so excited to hear you are thinking about a sibling for Wyatt! We'll be praying God shows you both His plan, He always does...its just sometimes we don't see/hear Him.
Boys will be boys...who knows where black eyes come from sometime. Keep looking ahead and searching God's plan for your family. We all love and support you.

When Brandon was two he would look behind him as he ran, needless to say he had many bruises on his head and legs. I hated going in for check ups! Now his son does the same thing :)
Yeah, another "great" may be coming soon! I'm ready to knit another pink blanket for someone special. We're behind you 100%.
Much love,
Aunt Laurie
