Educating myself a little......

about the country that our daughter will be born in. I'm in the process of learning Spanish in hopes that once we receive our referral (that refers to the child they pick out for us) I will be able to communicate with whomever is caring for her. I have been looking online for information about El Salvador and many of the pictures are soooo beautiful.........then some are just heartbreaking. It's hard to imagine poverty, true poverty, when we live in such a blessed area. I know you don't have to leave our country, or state for that matter, to see poverty but anytime it is placed before you it leaves a mark on your heart. At least it does for me. From the lable on this pic below, it is a pic of a lake called Coatepeque in San Salvador. That is the capital where we will fly into to pick up baby girl whose name I'm not sure if I'm releasing to the press as of yet. :)

We have heard no news of our dossier other than it is there and last word "was being translated". It should really be out of that stage but communication is so incredibly slow..........and our adoption coordinator has been in a conference and on vacation. I'll cut her some slack until the holiday is over...........well, make that Monday. I'll cut her slack until Monday. We all know I'm not that patient. Then she is getting another email!!!!!
