Today was another good day with Benithy. As soon as I swept
her up she was ready to play! She talked a lot and played a lot. Then she
passed out on me, and today I decided to keep ahold of her. So I rocked her for
a good 1.5 hours! J
The social workers came today to ask us some questions and
make sure we were suitable to adopt Benithy. It’s so hard having someone come
in and evaluate you on such little information, but I think the meeting went
well. There were a few weird questions in there, but for the most part really
great questions. After they interviewed
us, they interviewed one of Benithy’s maids that takes care of her. Then we had
to take Benithy and the other couple’s little guy into the Doctor for a
check-up. We rode in the truck, the other couple, the driver, and 2 women from
the crèche were also there. I had Benithy on my lap, and the couple had their
son on their lap as we drove home. Benithy is awfully scared of cars and so
cried for a bit. I held her tight and hummed in her ear, which usually calms
her down (and it worked). Not the safest way to transport people or kids! J
Once we got home we realized we hadn’t had a chance to eat
lunch, so we made our dinner and ate it up fast! We sat and chatted with the
other couple for a while, and are now getting ready to call it a night.
One more day left at the crèche is all. We are there all day
tomorrow and then we DO have our USCIS appointment Wednesday morning. So we are
thankful that we are getting that done, but sad that we won’t get a last chance
to see Benithy and the kids before we leave on Wednesday.
The best way to sum up our feelings right now is we are
ready…. But SOOOOOO not ready.
