Already slowly wading through the details. We got the next 3 pieces of paperwork filled out and they are ready to be faxed to our parent coordinator tomorrow morning. We also ordered a Hungarian Basics CD so that we can start learning some words and phrases in Hungarian! I think Ellie will pick it up fast. She will be going with us to Hungary and just might end up being our little translator. :-)
We told family yesterday about us adopting our girl and although they were surprised, they were all very supportive and for that we are thankful. Tony's dad started speaking some Slovac and talking about Czechoslovakia. Said he doesn't know any Hungarian though. My mom and dad were like, "What? What?" and it took them some time to process. But this morning, my email in- box was full of links from dad about Hungarian Resources. Thank you, Dad!
So thankful for the couple from Georgia who we are emailing with...they are giving us advice and information especially about the travel part of this journey, which Tony said is going to be the hardest part of this whole thing for him. As for me, it is all these before hand details that we have to do that are going to be the hardest. Once we are on that plane, I feel like I will be able to just collapse and breathe. I guess time will tell.
In the mean time, we press on one step at a time. It is strange to sit at the kitchen table, filling out this paper work for this one specific child, and to think that she does not have a clue yet that our hearts are consumed with her and that we are actively working through all of these details to bring her home. I can barely comprehend it.
