We're back!!

Hello, Well John and I are exhausted, but home! We left Guatemala yesterday at 4am and pulled into the driveway at almost 10pm!! What a day! But enough about yesterday we want to tell you about the rest of our trip. We had a wonderful time and both agreed that we were glad we decided to come. It was SO good to see Joey and spend some quality time together. He recognized us immediately and came to us willingly, but I know that the real attachment will take awhile once we have him. The weekend was full of firsts for us. First time feeding him cereal and bananas, first time helping him to walk, his first haircut (given by ME, scary huh). We had a wonderful time!!

On Sunday night we had to meet up with Yoli and Karla in the lobby to give him back and it was so impossible. John put it best...it just feels wrong! Why do we have to keep giving him back?! We wish that the PGN officials would have to sit in the lobby of the Marriot and witness the toture of handing these babies over to the foster families. I cannot even describe to you how sad it is to sit there and watch what happens. The longer it drags out the worse off everyone is, including the foster families who love these children so deeply. We are hoping for some positive news this week (just as we have every week for 10 mo now), I will keep you posted.
here are some pics from the week.
love
