Day 52-Farewell's

Mira and Seniora Sonia on her last night in Bogota. Sonia is the most attached to Mira, as she spends the most time with her. Sonia is a Godsend to the residence. She helps all new couples and goes above and beyond her call of duty. We will truly miss her.
Seniora Marie Antonio with Mira. Marie Antonio and Okenice do most of the cooking for the residence. She is a marvelous cook. Her specialty dishes will be missed.
Seniora Okenice also helps all new couples and is at the residence every day except Monday's. She is a wonderful cook, especially empanada's, which she learned to make from her grandmother who used to make and sell empanadas on the streets of Cartagena.
Seniora Maria Theresa De Perez, was our driver and translator for all important documents related to our adoption. She also worked very hard to make sure that we will all be able to travel together tomorrow.

Day 50-Sentencia!!!!!!

Mira's first passport!
The covering Embassy appointed physician who did not have office hours today, but agreed to see Mira to allow us to apply for her visa in the morning, so we could travel home as a family. He is also a FANA Dad and learned that we were a FANA family only after we arrived in his office. Maria Theresa, who did all the work to make this happen, was shy tonight and wanted to take the picture, but did not want to be in it. She has had a long busy day and tomorrow is another with our Embassy Visit.
Mira's exhausted after her long hard day of preparing for her journey to Buffalo.

Day 49

Enjoying lunch and at Soupas y Postres with Mommy and Daddy in my new stroller.
