Adoption Fair and hanging out with friends

Today Bug and I attended the TriState adoption Fair. candy, in the local office of FTIA asked us to come and speak as to potential families- just in general- about the process and anything else that families might ask. T and Y were also there, as was another single mom (her daughter was born in China) and another family whose child came home from Guatemala. Bug and Y entertained the entire end of the hall where we were- they got balls from a vendor and played with those for a while, drove cars on the wall, and to cap it off- they discovered the joys of crawling under the tables and playing there. They also discovered that all the vendors had candy on the tables, and they found the suckers. It was a good time.

After the adoption fair, T and I took the toddlers to Chic-fil-a for lunch and some more play time. The end of playtime- Y is "helping" Bug put his shoes on. bug was telling her how to do- he was quite the task master for her.

HE WENT DOWN THE SLIDE!!!! yes, I am excited, it typically takes an act of God to get him to go down the slide- this time, he was the first one down. I sat there in shock.

Talking Candy- the Local FTIA person. I like Candy alot- she is so helpful and so calm. Her heart is so big. She was just a big part of helping me through the wait.

3 Single Mommas- T (Guatemala), J (China) and me (Guatemala).

Gauta Mommas

Kelly from the International Adoption Clinic. She was the person who took us through the all day testing when Bug first came home. I love seeing her, she dotes on Bug and I think she likes to see him because once the kids are through with the 2 visit, the IAC staff never sees them again.

Love and hugs to you,
