Foster Home Visit







We had another great visit with Tananya today. The kids arrived early and I actually walked right past Tananya but Mikayla pointed out that the crying child I had just walked past was her sister. We had a brief visit at the hotel and then went to Central to go "shopping". It was outrageously expensive and we didn't buy anything other than some diapers. After lunch, we were able to go and visit Tananya's foster home. We had a great visit with Tananya's foster mother and foster grandmother. The family was Muslim which was a surprise considering the prevalence of Buddhism here. The home was on the grounds of the mosque. They had several pictures that they had taken of Tananya over the past 15 months which was wonderful to see. We videotaped her album and took digital photos of some the pictures they had. We had a really marvelous visit and Tananya is interacting with us very well. She is such a happy, beautiful and silly girl that we can't wait to take custody tomorrow. Nana and Papa will hopefully be able to come and meet their newest grand-daughter tomorrow. We also plan to take the girls swimming tomorrow, which will be Tananya's first time. She'll be experiencing alot of first over the next few days. I am very tired and therefore will leave today's entry a short one for now.

Another great post! Thank you do much for letting us follow along! I already can't wait for tomorrows!

Mikayla is going to be a wondeful big sister, and it will be fun hearing about some of the 'first's' you will all soon be sharing with little Tananya.

Congratulations again!!

Anson thinks that Tananya looks a little like him because of the curly hair, of course she takes after her fabulous grandmother. Anson say to tell Tananya he loves her and miss mummy, dad and Mikayla.

Once again, I am so happy for all of you. Tanaya sure is cute. I'm glad Mikayla is having fun on your trip. I can't wait to see a picture of the whole family once you all get home!
