I can’t sleep. This has been going on since our homestudy for a visual companion dog for Elijah. Truly it’s all I think about.
How do you adoptive parents do it? And your longing for your child!!!! I just want a dog!
My heart is feeling it’s not going to happen. It’s been two weeks, we haven’t heard A THING! I even sent an email with more questions the day after. No reply. I’m too chicken to call them and say, “Hey what’s up?”
Eli’s off at the school for the blind. He comes home on Fri. I already have some sad news to tell him.
He didn’t win the American Printing House for the Blind art contest. His picture was returned the other day.
They had over 400 entries for Eli’s age group. Only 80 were picked. My E-man’s wasn’t one of them. Though it’s still the best picture in my book. I hope he will try again next year.
I so strongly think this dog would change Eli’s world. His therapist really like the idea as well. If only I had more controll and I could just buy one. YEAH RIGHT! After training and all these dogs are worth about $25000.00! YEP! $25000! But yet priceless in what they can do for a child!
Please, let this happen for my son!

THANK YOU, Maris!
I did email them on Mon. I received a response right away. I guess she did respond to my email right after our home visit, but I never received it. I wrote that one from work, so her reply probably got blocked by my work.
The board is meeting next Tuesday. They have had some members on vacation. (GEE-don’t they know I’m stressing out over here?!:) )
So, I plan to not stress over this until then. YEAH RIGHT!
