big news today.....February 13, 2009

We were very surprised this morning to receive news that Mika's foster Mother has requested to meet us! This is very unique, and is a wonderful opportunity for us to ask her questions about Mika and get to know more about her childhood. The agency will make arrangements for us to meet her in a neutral location with a translator and an orphanage representative the day before we travel to the orphanage to pick up Mika. We feel very fortunate to have such a special opportunity.

Our agency has been absolutely amazing throughout our entire adoption process, and this is another example of how much they care about the families and the children. Although we know it will be very emotional to meet the Foster Mother, we feel very blessed to be given such a wonderful gift. It will be a very special moment for us to shake her hand and say thank you.
Our court hearing is only 12 days away!!! After that, we should find out our travel date.
