well, i've talked to mom several times since she's arrived in haiti & seems to having a great time - she's staying at ruuska village - she arrived in miami & did just fine & then a friend of mine that's also adopting from barbara, had given me the name & picture of her father in law that was due to be on mom's flight into PAP - i sent it to mom & she was able to know who to be looking for - he was given her information as well & so they both found each other & ended up trading seats & sitting together from miami to PAP - she'd been there 2 times prior, but not ever doing it alone, she felt more comfortable going in with an experienced 'haiti man' hehehe - after arriving in PAP, she was met by barbara's group - several adoptive parents, barbara & madisyn - sounds like things are great with the bonding thing there - they stopped by the visa lodge to drop off some who were staying there & then it was off to the village
today, they went to see bryce, the little boy mom will be caring for while she's there - he's 19 months old, but weighs about the same as a 6 month old little boy - she said he's adorable & they'll be picking him up tomorrow (they had to notify the place where he's at a day ahead of time i guess) - mom's very excited to get him 'home' to the village & start fattening him up (poor little guy will weigh 30# by the end of mom's 2 weeks) - they won't call him bryce, but instead, 'bubba' - cassandra.. mom said to tell you she's met your daughter & she's OH, SO PRECIOUS TOO!! - mom said she's, "absolutely perfect" - she's getting lots of pictures of all the village children for all you parents that are on pins/needles to see them - when she arrives home at midnight on the 8th, we'll get them on the puter & emailed to you the next day,more than likely
here's a funny picture of our day today with dad when he stopped by for a visit (madisyn, this'll who you'll be calling papi, but remember, i'm there for ya sis!)
