Today we went to the goodbye pool party for all of the host families and children at one of the host family’s houses. Everyone brought food to share so there was lots to eat and it was a fun day. It’s always great to see the other families and see how much fun they’re having with their kids too. We are so excited that most of them have also decided to adopt.
A couple of families at the party are already in the middle of their adoption process. They had hosted kids at Christmas and had already been to their first court dates in Latvia. It was great to hear about their experiences and learn more about how the process works. We are so thankful to know of others currently going through the adoption process because they’re able to help us learn what to expect. While the children were swimming, Rob and I got to really talk to the other parents and the chaperones and get many of our questions answered about the next steps we’ll need to take. We are almost finished compiling our dossier documents so we’ll be ready to send everything to Latvia soon. It was just good to make sure we were doing things correctly.
The kids had a blast and stayed in the pool almost the entire time. They got out once or twice to get a bite to eat but quickly jumped back in. It was hard to get them to leave. This was kind of a sad day because we all knew the next time we’d see each other would be at the airport when we say goodbye. We tried not to think about too much.
