Yesterday I called the Embassy and after I got our appointment we just relaxed and talked with
the other adoptive parents. They are all dealing with the anxiety of being so close to finishing this
lengthy process. To beak it up I made an appointment with Childrens Home to come for a visit in
the afternoon and drop off our supplies and gifts to the staff. It was strange for all of us to go back
to the Home. We are grateful that they did such a nice job taking care of Sujina and the rest of the
kids with limited resources. We are also very happy to have Sujina with us and starting her life with our family. We are sad as well because we won't be back very soon and we wish the Home
and all of the lives they touch all the best. Sujina looked a little bewildered and had a strange look on her face. It must have been bitter/sweet for her as well.
After our visit we met Mr. Tamata(the Home Director) at the new Childrens Home. It is about a
month away from being finished. It really looks nice and will be able to hold 100 kids. It is
in such a nice location just outside the city. I am glad all of the new children and caregivers
will be able to use such a nice facility.
On another note it has added another level of emotion for Steph and I to know that Rowe was in the hospital back home. We got pictures of him in his bed with his oxygen and IV hooked up
and it really hurt me that I could not be there to confort him. Thankfully he is better and I can now concentrate on finishing matters in Nepal. Many thanks to our Team in Fayetteville that have given Rowe and Beck so much love while we are halfway around the world!!!
