Day 29 (Monday)

Strike :

Was told tonight that our judge did come off strike but his staff got mad at him so they are back on strike.  I was told that our paper work is moving along, whatever that means.    I have contacted the United States embassy and they asked me to email them on Friday if we don’t hear any news about a court date.

Today:

Went out with our new American family friends (mark and S and A) that are also adopting siblings and who are in our hotel.  He showed me the way to walk to the big mall and I showed him a good place to eat (crepes and waffles).   Mark kids were really great to B and L.  They became friends very fast. 

We walked all the way to the big mall then mark received a call from his English teacher who showed up at the hotel so we had to return.  L wasn’t happy so on the way home so she threw a fit.  I was pretty proud of Marks boy S because he was nice to her and carried her jacket for her.   I didn’t help much but it was a nice offer. 

I have asked L several times if she is happy and she always says yes.  Even though she is physically 5 almost 6 she behaves like a 3 year old girl.  I believe she has learned these behaviors to get attention in foster care.  I am sure with time she will learn how to act her age.

 

Until next time,
