HOLY SHIT.

The agency I adopted mac through is shutting down. Apparently they have been going down hill for several years, it seems mac's adoption was right at the turning point. There are accusations of fraud and unethical adoptions and they are filing for bankruptcy.

I just do not even know. I have emailed asking to be sent any files they have on him with info I may not have. I still have to send the Ethiopian government reports until hew turns 18, but now I will just do that directly to Ethiopia (means I cannot do it online anymore).

I need to probably research with other families a trusted person in Ethiopia that I can now use to try and find mac's family. crap.

I am so sorry, Aurelia.

Holy crap, msbelle! Can that affect your adoption?

Because books.

That's a little alarming.

yeah I am kinda freaking out even though it is really not gonna affect anything in my life, but it was the place I could say this is where our family came from - this place created that and here is their physical office and here is the physical orphanage you lived and now nothing. I guess it would be like if the hospital you had your baby in was torn down. I do not like things from my past going away.

ION - MUST FOCUS NOT ON THIS.

The following things have left my house the last few days:

3 pumpkins from the front porch (yes they were rotten inside and yes disposing of them was gross)
a large jewelry box
burned out CFL lightbulbs (well they will go out today or tonight - I discovered that Lowes will take them).

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Now that I'm 3 days from moving I've had 3 light bulbs blow. How do they know?!?

Sue - will not affect anything. We are all done and legal as legal can be, but I think I will just get the last few things tidied up that I never did.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All sympathies, aurelia.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh wow, msbelle. That's disturbing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The agency I adopted mac through is shutting down. Apparently they have been going down hill for several years, it seems mac's adoption was right at the turning point. There are accusations of fraud and unethical adoptions and they are filing for bankruptcy.

Yikes -- I got that email from them and wondered what was up.
