Back From Birthfamily Visit

Well we made it back, but things have still been winding down so this is the first chance I get to post! The visit overall went well and it was good to see my daughter running around and playing with her siblings. I was asked some very hard questions by the birthfamily and was in way prepared to answer them. The birthfather kept asking for money and for us to buy everything you can imagine and then some for him. The birthmom asked if I loved her as much as I did my bio children, if I would be willing to leave her there with them because they could raise her now, etc. I can't say I regret the trip at all, but it did make me step back and rethink going back with my daughter anytime soon. I can say seeing her with the children was priceless!! you can go to my blog to read the full story and see photos of my journey back to Guatemala.
I would also say I was very pleased with the contacts I made while I was there and the projects that I'm going to get involved in. I now have the opportunity to help fundraise for the first ever classroom for exceptional children in Panajachel!!! God really did open up many doors for me on this trip and I can't wait to return again!! I know He has amazing things in store for me!!
Feel free to email me any questions you may have about my visit!!
