Additional days to wait

As we prepared to leave this Friday only to find out children's passports not ready. 
This means extra funds we have to spend.  And having to stay longer means extra time off for Gary to care for kids.
Grayson has many emotional scars from his pass.  Alot of anxiety and anger built up inside him.  Quickly his mood changes.   He has issues slamming and breaking things.  One reasons why I do not post as I wish.
Through out his body major scars if abuse.  Many times he jerks and flinches when touched.  He is presently on meds to help control his anger and emotions.
Bringing him outside he tends to run off but thank God he turns back around.  A very rough last 2 weeks with him.  Presently we had to repair two glass panels on a door.  He picks up glass and them hides it for protection.  He fears hospital and the day he had his exam it was a major melt down.  Dealing with his anger has not been easy.  Once home we will reeval his meds and seek therapy for him.  We've been translating through Google translate to communicate.  I advise anyone adopting bring your spouse on pickup trip with a child with emotional issues as Grayson does. 
This week with all of this I am running out of medication.  I was told about two weeks this trip but closer to a month.
Gotcha Day is not all roses with all children .These two children have been severely abused emotionally and mentally.  Some moments are good but many outbursts. 
Night time I have been sleeping near the apartment door to keep Grayson inside.  He wonders the apartment and eats all the food we purchase then throws it up.  Feeding disorder.  I've got little sleep since they came with us. Get plenty of rest before any Gotcha Day .You'll need it.  I found out older children much difficult than younger ones to handle.
Today's goal find some meds for me. And find away to control Grayson's outbursts.

Dolly~God's Little Angel On Earth

Dolly This pass year many ups and downs, especially with funds.  I decide that instead of worrying about raising the funds for our boys I wanted to help a friend instead. There is a little girl I had my heart in love with little Dolly.  Little Dolly is so much like our girls Chrissie and Penelope.  And such a beautiful smile. One day I was checking children out available for adoption and little Dolly kept coming through my mind.  I saw where someone was inquiring about her and telling me she did massage therapy.  And did wonders for children needing Physical Therapy.  After we chatted for a few hours I fell in love with this person and knew she loved Dolly as her daughter.  Through the pass several months she has sold many items to submit her dossier and one of them was her wedding dress.  I wished I had the funds where I could have purchased it and then sent it back to her after the adoption had been completed.  When adopting families do what they can to bring in funds.  A

Poppy-sue

Here's Poppy. ❤ Our family adopted Penelope February 2015 from a little city called Kharkiv.   She's our little princess and chatter box.  Penelope was given the nickname Poppy after a flower I loved as a child.  Growing up in England the Poppy filled the fields and hills. A field of beauty... And this beauty reminds me of the soul of my precious child.
