TIME TO REUNITE - HERE COMES ELIJAH
I'll be leaving soon to return to the Philippines. My plan is to go ahead of Alicia, Dustin & Kat and do some exploring and visiting and then reunite with them in Manila where they will visit the Hospicio to bring another little one, Elijah, into their family. We are all so excited - Kat will be coming with and she will have the chance to give hugs to her godmothers, Ampy & Fritzie, and to her adopted Lolo, Ramon. Most of all, the sisters and staff that cared for her at the Hospicio will be able to see her and know that they did well in their placement with Kat into our family. It is our hope that this will continue the relationship with her birth country that will strengthen her attachment and feeling of self. Hope you will all follow another amazing journey - so worth the long travel.

We are very excited to go! What will it be like this time? We are so excited to have a little boy joining our family and even more excited to share this with Katrina and watch her face light up at all of the sights, people, and beauty of her homeland...how amazing. Thank you for again being there with us, it brings us comfort knowing that you again will be there for moral support, mentoring, and of course capturing those moments
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you'll be going, Mareta! I'm just hoping I can meet and greet at the airport when the Ide family return home as a family of four :)
ReplyDeleteMareta - I am so excited for you and Alicia and Dustin and Katrina too. It will be so wonderful for Katrina to go back to her country and to be witness to getting her new brother. Hope all goes well for you the 1st week and you get all accomplished that you hope. I look forward to reading your blog and getting updates. Love Patti
