The Embassy

I moved to Guatemala City on Monday and Dennis arrived just in time to go with us to Mia's passport appointment and to her final embassy visit with the doctor. We had our interview on Tuesday morning and everything went really well. We spent most of the morning at the U.S. embassy. We went back to the hotel and had lunch with our friend Edwin and then just spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at the hotel. Mia's birth mom had lunch with us on Wednesday and it was great to see her again. Mia really loved playing with her. She is a wonderful woman and made an incredible sacrifice in her life to make sure Mia had a good life. Mia kept taking her earrings out, so when she said good-bye to Mia, she gave her the earrings to keep. It was really touching for us to know that Mia will have this part of her birth mom when she is older and have pictures of the day.
