We've been traveling since Sunday morning. Twenty five hours flying and 14 hours on the train. All that plus losing 7 hours has made me lose track of time a little.
This has been our first opportunity to get internet access.
We arrived in region this morning. After dropping off our luggage, we went to the orphanage. We saw a friend's little boy that is being picked up in a couple of weeks. They are at the same stage of the process as we are. We went into the director's office and our daughter was called in. She was shown her new birth certificate with her new name! We then took her for passport photos. After we dropped her off at the orphanage, we then went to sign the passport application at the notary's office. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we will pick her up and all go to the passport office. THEN, we get to keep her with us from now on!!!
Of course, she was ready to go right away, but the orphanage director wants us to sign some papers tomorrow after the passport application process is complete.
We are all so ready to be finished with this and now it is days away!
I wish we could post pictures, but we don't have the ability to do that until we get home.

Congratulations on your reunion with your daughter. All that and you still are not able to take her yet?? Amazing. One more day then--her last night in the internat. What a *joy* it must have been to finally have her in your arms again! :-D
So glad to read that your journey to bring your daughter home is almost complete! We are hoping to adopt a child we hosted, but are much earlier in the process. We will keep following along and praying for you as you become a family!
Blessings,
