Another family's blog and thanks...

Upon returning home, I thought to look at one of the other family's blog that was in our group and frankly, I wish I had looked at it before our trip and taken the time to put a little more into ours. Anyway, in case you're interested, I would certainly encourage you to look at it. I believe there to be more details to the trip and their personal experiences.

Also, if I have already mentioned it, I'm going to mention it again. I can't imagine having taken this trip without Beatriz and Anamaria. It made all the difference in the world having them with us to help, support and share in our experiences. I want to thank Ana for incredible photography that we would not have otherwise had. What an amazing record we have to pass on to Emily when she is of age to become interested in her heritage. Not to mention, the recollection of the memories we shared.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a way to subscribe to the blog in order to know when a new post has been uploaded. Reason being is that I will probably continue to post updates now and then. Particularly the results we receive when we take her to the family doctor this week and, more importantly, the diagnosis of her scoliosis from the specialist we will be seeing on April 7th.

Anyway, I don't anyone to have to keep checking and there not be anything new posted.

Oh, I do want to report that Emily is yelling out "Ba Pa" and "Ma Ma" quite a lot and it seems certain she is referring to me, obviously on the "Ba Pa" part.

As I might have mentioned, when we picked Emily up, we were given a journal that was either kept by the foster family or the representative at the orphanage. Either way, I have a few resources in which I'm hoping to get it translated. I will share those findings as soon as I get them.
