The Paper Chase Begins

It has been a crazy week!! 4:30 Friday morning, Ray took Cassidy to the bus station, to catch a custom coach, with his scouts. They left on a week long holiday about five hundred miles away, on an island! Big adventure for a ten year old!

Then the next day, I picked up Colt from Bible camp, where he was a counsellor, brought him home for a mere 10 hours, and then took him and Dane to the bus station to catch their bus to cadet camp for the summer!

While I was waiting for the time to leave for the bus station (1:00 am), I sat up and began the Paper Chase. I downloaded the application forms to sponsor a child. This is what you fill in with Immigration to ensure that you will properly support the child when it arrives in our country.

The only question that I couldn't fill in on the paper was - What country? We were torn between Liberia and Ethiopia.

This form will take about four weeks to come back - once we mail it

At this point, I knew that I would have to do a criminal check in England, because I had lived there for at least six consecutive months. I knew this might be a pain because 'how on earth do you do a criminal check in a foreign country?'

I hit the pillow at 2:45 am with my mind running.
