It's done! The first day at the baby house has come and gone and I met a number of beautiful children. There were two 4 year old boys, who I was not approved to adopt (and who are older than I was looking for).. I also met two 2 year old little girls, one of whom is being adopted by the couple I traveled to Kaz with. Then there were the babies.. I met three infant girls, two who were 8 months of age and one who is 13 months. Let me tell you-- this is hard! I am visiting with 2 of those girls-- an 8 month old named Medina and the 13 month old, named Natalya. There was some pressure to make a quick decision, but those of you who know me know that is not physically possible for me. I am the girl who visited Home Depot for months before deciding on bathroom fixtures-- this is a little more important that a pretty sink :) Anyway, this afternoon the pressure eased off, but I will have to give answer soon. I am just waiting for the adoption specialist I am consulting with to look at the info and photos I sent her. Until I have made a choice, I am going to hold off on posting a picture of either girls..
It's dinner time now.. I've avoided the horsemeat until now-- even though they might have tried to slip some into a breakfast pastry I had today :)
Sonya & Brent-- I found Nicholas today.. Medina is in his room.. He looked great, very active and smiley. Natalya said you had spoiled him though-- and now it was the "poor nurses" who had to handle him.. By the looks of it, it isn't that tough a job at all. I'll get you pictures when I can..
Later..

I wonder if one of those girls was the one who went up to Sonya and took Sonya's hand to put on her face? So sweet! Congrats and good luck!
Good for you for not being pressured into making a quick decision. What an exciting time (and scary too!). I am falling in love already just imagining them. Good luck.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. It is special to be part of your journey.
We could not be happier for you. We know you will make a terrific choice no matter which child you choose. Although it has only been a few days, we miss you very much. Can't wait to see the photos!! ;-)
PS - the user name was supposed to be famatdmak - not family. So I guess now you realize "family" is your second family at Mak's office. LOL.
Congrats on making it there safely and good luck with your decision. You will be led to the right child.

Hi Jeannine!
I remember both Medina and Natalya. That will be a hard decision. Since Medina was in Nick's room, I can tell you that she was always so quite and sweet. I would just look at her and she would smile so happily.
I see that Suzanne asked if she might be the baby that took my hand. No, that was actually Hannah. I haven't told Miranda and Josh that, but that was such a touching moment.
Please send Nick pics! I miss my boy!

So, so exciting!!! Glad you are not letting them pressure you.
Very Exciting!
Glad you made it and are close to a decision. i bet the canal trip was coolWe did the bus tour.. I don't think they offered a canal one. Too funny you mentioned Amazing Race because I was thinking the same thing!!!Can't wait to see your new baby..How is the hotel? Their french fries are good (but go to the grocery store and get Heinz ketchup for them!!)

I so happy to see you made it and that you are close to finding your child.
I'm also glad to hear you are able to handle the pressure of making a too-quick decision. Can't wait to see photos!!!
I am so happy that you made it safely to Kaz. I will have to get the information on your canal tour.
Good luck in making your decision I am sure it is not easy but I know you will make the right one.

We had asked for more time to make our decision too, and everything worked out for the best! Glad to hear that you made it there safely, and we will now be looking at your blog every day! Our son, Kyle is is Medina's room, and I agree with Sonya- she is a sweetie. If you know of anyone going into room 2, please have them check in on Kyle for us. We miss him something fierce. I'm following another blog and heard that there are 8 families now- WOW! Can't wait to hear your decision!
