My internet has been on and off lately, but it’s on now, so I’ll see if I can get this to post. So, bear with my ramblings.

Jonalyn had her IEP meeting last week. It went well and I think we’re all on the same page, which is good. I hope she gets a good numbers of hours in with her special ed teacher. The aides she has do seem to be doing a good job with her. I like her therapists. Motivation is sometimes a problem with her, but for the most part she works hard and likes school, which is great. So she’ll be in 1st grade next year. Most of her work will have to be modified since she is only operating at a 3 year old level. She’ll have time with the special ed teacher, the OT and the speech therapist. We’re waiting for our visit to the CP clinic next week to see if she’ll need more PT. That’s another post.

Now, switching gears completely – what were they thinking???!!! I’m talking about that group from the U.S. trying to get children out of Haiti illegally. It angers and saddens me no end. Haiti is closed to adoptions right now, with the exception of those who already had referrals. They are giving emergency refugee status to these kids now and getting them home. But everything else is closed. And I applaud the Haitian government for that. They need to be very, very careful about black market and under the table adoptions now. These idiots who tried an illegal method of getting the children out only hurt the chances for other orphans to get a good, loving home. If people continue to pull stunts like this, adoptions may be shut down for a long time. Maybe even permanently. Please, please, if you want to help Haiti’s orphans, please, please do it legally. Don’t jeopardize their chances at a having a family of their own.

Stepping down from my soap box now. That’s my sermon for today 😉 Told you these were random thoughts. But I’ll stop here, let that sink in, and see if my internet is working enough for me to get this posted.
