Today is Gotcha Day! This morning we have a meeting with our adoption agency staff and then this afternoon we will go down to the Civil Services office to get our Ginny!!
It's 5am now and I've been up far at least an hour. I think jet lag has a lot to do with it, but definitely also nerves. We've seen quite a few families here with their new children and many of the children seem fairly easy going. However, last night at dinner we saw this one little girl who was out and out rejecting her mother... Wouldn't even let her push her in the stroller! The parents seemed to be taking it well, but it was kind of hard to watch knowing that we could very well be there tomorrow!
Needless to say I hit the gym last night before bed! Our hotel is GORGEOUS! It figures thought, because I definitely over packed on some things that I thought I would need (towels, which everyone I read online said to bring), but didn't pack things that I definitely want (a swimming suit! There's a beautiful pool and the weather is warm and muggy). I also failed to bring the token gifts for the caregivers and government officials! What I read said it would be cheaper and easier to buy here and our luggage was already stuffed! But there is not much around our hotel and the other two families brought stuff from their home towns and I feel like a dope! I'm just grateful that no one has called me one yet! Rather, both families have been very nice and the one couple even wrote down all the gifts that they bought and the husband came out with me looking.
All and all, I'm a ball of emotions right now and I can't sleep! I should have stayed up and watched Robin Hood with Brian last night (even though it was a complete butchery of the myth!). I'm going to go try to catch another hour or two of sleep before breakfast!
