Doctors Appointments- check

So, I have the girls many doctors appointments set up for when we get back. Many of the adoption medicine doctors book up a year in advance, so I figured I'd go ahead and get all the appointments on the books before we leave. Thankfully we have the girls names and birthdates, and we know approximately when we will be back in the US with them.

So all the appointments so far are for the second week of August - that will give us some flex time in our return dates, and give the girls time to settle in and get into a new routine. School here starts August 13, but I doubt we will be able to get the girls all registered before that date - too much paperwork is required by schools nowadays!

Plus we want Cinderella to go to a different school than we are zoned for - its still in our district and not far away, but it still requires some forms to be filed and people to sign off on the "transfer." The girls will be going to a full immersion English program, provided by the school district, for the first 6-9 weeks. This program teaches them not only the English language, but the culture and customs of the American classroom.

So far we have scheduled:
dentist appointments for both girls with a TLC dentist who specializes in fearful patients
general pediatric appointments with a Russian speaking EE adoption specialist
gynecology visit for Belle - she is 14 and we assume she has started her period, and we have no clue if she has been sexually active. better to get her checked out now for STDs, and get her on birth control (to regulate her periods)

I put in a request with the Marcus Institute's International Adoption clinic, more for developmental/educational testing, but they are booked through October. Since I know the doctor though, her nurses are going to try and stick us in a cancellation appointment in August, but we won't know that date until the day of most likely.
