Here we are with Mariana's foster parents. They did a great job I have to say. She's so sweet and friendly and healthy. They have 3 children of their own plus 2 other foster children. They made us a "Book of Mariana" with photos and a nice letter for her.
We didn't realize how much Mariana must be missing them until we were having dinner with the other families staying here. She started sqeaking and all her limbs started twitching with excitement when the other children came near. I think she'll be so excited to meet all her 17 cousins when we go home. Now we're trying to spend as much social time as we can with the other folks here. They're all Europeans and doing the same thing we are. So far it's been really nice to be here. Not having to worry about cooking and cleaning is REALLY great.
