Day 4 and 5 were exhausting! We visited with the foster family, but it was the weekend so all the children were there. It must be very difficult for them. They will miss their little foster sister, but they also feel sorry that they aren't getting adopted. The oldest child is the family's biological daughter, and sweet girl. She helps her mom prepare meals and look after the younger ones. She is very good at distracting and redirecting the younger children. The next oldest child is a beautiful little girl. She's sweet and smart and completely healthy. She's lived with the family for more than 3 years, I hope she is able to find a permanent family soon. The next child is a little boy, recently placed with the family. His mother got sick and was unable to care for him, so they are sorting out his legal status as far as whether he can become available for adoption. Like our daughter, he is Roma. He is a healthy and active little guy.
With all the kids around, our little one gets overstimulated. She never gets her naps on the weekends because of all the activity. She was exhausted when we left today. Tomorrow is Monday and her last full day with the foster family. They are throwing a little birthday part, her birthday is Tuesday. Tuesday, the social worker drives her to th regional office and the documents are signed to give us temporary custody. Then we are off to th embassy.
Our translator keeps saying, don't worry she'll forget the foster mother. But we do t want to forgt the foster mother. She has been so kind and caring to all the children. Today she gave us dozens of digital pictures on a flash drive we brought. We'll be able to our pumpkin pictures from when she was a baby and the other children who played such a large role in her life.
Sorry for all the typos, I'm typing o a tablet :)
