Keep up the the vigilance! This shows there is hope for us older but good parenting material people....after we get settled into a new home, we hope to foster.
You mentioned Allie's citizenship issues....have you been able to adopt her yet? And that should solve her citizenship issues, shouldn't it?
Is Allie with you or are you apprehensive to take her back to her home country because of her US citizenship not assured? If not, I hope your little girl doesn't grieve her mother's absence too much.
