I would think?




Ta Da
Is it morning yet? Thought I'd give you all a quick update. Today our document arrived via FedEx from Trenton and I scanned and sent it over. Hard copy stays with me. And gets hand carried over.
Also today found out slight change in plans when in country. Now we have to travel to Tamara's Birth Family's region to acquire a new birth certificate. So ... road trip. Hum... wonder how far that will be? Anyway.. it will give us the opportunity to at least drive through her village... perhaps even stop? I've been bugging our agency for months for information, pictures and such on the birth family. Perhaps We'll get to meet them after all?
At some point I expect Tamara will ask about her birth family. I would love to have some pictures of them or at least their village to share with her. Although the nanny has met them and I will have an opportunity to interview her... it would be nice to meet them first hand.
When you adopt a child your best opportunity to gather information is before the adoption. When you adopt internationally... your only opportunity may be while you're in country. So although a nerve racking, highly emotional event. It's an opportunity we really can't pass up should it present itself.
I would think? If we did have the opportunity to meet her birth family it would give her birth Mom some closure as well. I would think?
I would think? She would feel a sense of relief knowing her Birth Daughter has a family that adores her and will provide her with a happy, healthy, productive life.
I would think?
I would think?
