Well most major things are done, flights, hotel, insurance, but still finalizing cat care details, packing, and things like haircuts, and paperwork to bring. I am starting to feel calmer but of course I go between, calmness, excitement, fear, joy, anxiety, exhilaration and back and forth!!….
….definitely am keeping in mind all the things I learned the first time around about "living" in Vietnam for a short time; however, it has been five years and things in life always continue to change and grow.
Just found out that Matteo's orphanage has moved locations but it is no longer an orphanage. After the shut down it no longer accepted children and the director has moved on. The centre exists in another form about 7 kms away from where it was once located, though it is a children's centre, it does not deal in adoptions. This helps with one decision I don't need to make as we are hoping to get back to Vung Tau, but not sure how Matteo would react to going inside. He at times wants me to talk about his adoption and we look at his adoption story book, and at other times he pushes it away…so will take my cues with him….trying to prepare him to know we will not be able to take Malia right away, he, like his momma, is ready to take her home with us….but we will need to continue to be patient….for today, we have haircuts on the agenda and hopefully a fun afternoon at the splash pad.
