Complete Sentences

At school I am teaching my students to use complete sentences. It is something that is following me home. I have found myself numerous times telling Aminah to use a complete sentence. Here is a sample of how that is going.
Aminah: Mommy ask me how many sides a circle has.
Mommy: Aminah, how many sides does a circle have?
Aminah: None
Mommy: Use that in a complete sentence.
Aminah: Hey Mommy none.
Mommy says with a smile: You are so smart!

It wasn't exactly the complete sentence I was hoping for, but it sure was cute!

Now What?

I've been waiting for 11 1/2 months now for the Vietnam adoption. I knew it would be a long journey and that it would be filled with ups and downs. Today Vietnam officially closed adoptions to the United States. What now? Well until Vietnam and the United States can come to an agreement (called the Memo of Understanding - MOU), adoptions will NOT be happening. I still have quite a few people ahead of me before my number is even an issue. Let's say that Vietnam and the United States were to make an agreement by the end of the year, I would still be on the waiting list for about another 100 or more people ahead of me. That doesn't mean that things would move quickly then either. I have moved up about 100 people in the last year, but only because people knew that Vietnam was closing so they started looking elsewhere. Now I need to decide, if I'm going to look elsewhere or if I'm going to continue to wait for something that might not happen. If I continue to wait then I will have to renew my current homestudy and my fingerprints, and I will probably have to do that a few times before this is through. Lots to think about. On the bright side, Aminah continues to be her amazing self. I'm lucky to have her and know that if God wants us to be a family of 2, then at least we are a terrific team.
