We went to the police station yesterday to get finger printed (again) to finalize our adoption. The woman finger printing us asked if we were doing it for an adoption since we had Nora with us. She was covered up in her car seat (because we don't want anyone sneezing on her:) so she couldn't see her. The finger printer was Vietnamese and I think she sees a lot of international adoptions so she was talking a bit about how with Asian adoptions the babies can't know their birthparents etc and her experiences in Vietnam.We told her that she was from Colorado and she would know her birthparents. She said "oh that's very good." Then she told us, "You are very lucky". Yes we are. This woman totally got adoption and was so great. It always surprises me who will make positive or negative comments regarding adoption. It was so nice for someone to affirm how lucky we are.

ReplyDeleteI love the pic of Nora and the new blog layout. I hope you are enjoying every moment of being a mommy - and congrats on almost finalizing!
It's always nice to encounter someone who "gets it". That's so exciting about finalization coming up. One more hurdle to jump;)
ReplyDeleteI like that you got a positive comment! Makes me feel so much better especially since I'm in the middle of the PW and it's totally freaking me out.
