The train ride was very long!! I had the whole compartment to myself since the other family stayed squished in the other!
Here is the view out my window this am:
Another outside view:
Ah - such wonderful coffee and only .40 cents!
This helped since I only slept about 2 hours total! too excited!
The sign on the building :)
The entranceway:
As I walked into the orphanage I could hear the workers all talking - here is Sveta's mom!
I felt like a celebrity! Everyone here just loves her!!
Here she is being told about me and the family!
so intent!! She is in the crib because she had just come back from PT and they did not want her moving around too much :(
Here is her response when asked if she wanted me to be her momma!!!
There was not a dry eye in the house!
I only got about 15 minutes with her as we had to run and do paperwork.
But I did get a hug and a big kiss!!
I just had to show this for the other families!! this was at the government building...
This is where I will be very soon!!!!
I am SO exhausted!!
I get to visit every day for as long and as much as I want except 12-3.
I also get to visit in her groupa as there are 4 other families here visiting :) :)
I can not wait to see her tomorrow, without everyone there watching us.
God has graced us with another beautiful child!!!!!
