Not a Good Day

Ok, today was not a good day. It started off with a phone call from Mom. My Dad's doctor had called. The results from his biopsy showed he does have malignant melanoma skin cancer, as we had feared. He is having surgery and further tests on June 18th. The doctors feel they have caught it early and hopefully it has not spread. I will never tan again!!!! Now I am obssesing over every mole and spot analyizing and comparing them to pics online of skin cancer. I will have to go to the doctor for piece of mind before I drive poor Nick nuts. My Dad is only 47 and has already had a heart attack and now skin cancer. If he wasn't so freakin stuborn and go to the doctor!!! I am starting to feel like I am the parent.

CIS approval for the adoption did not come again.... We are coming up on 2 months since submitting our paperwork and a month since our fingerprints. Maybe tomorrow. I hope I am home when it comes, I think I want to take the delivery man's picture, like others have said they did. I know it sounds silly. The morning we had our fingerprint appointment was VERY dramatic and I wish I would've had my camera that day. The mad rush to get there in ATL traffic, standing in the long line unsure what to do, and then sitting and comparing which CIS worker was going the slowest taking fingerprints. Seriously, I could have done the whole room in about 30 miniutes! It is funny the things you go through having a biological child vs having an adopted child. I actually like going through the whole process, paperwork and all.
