Adopting Elizabeth or better yet, Adopting Mommy!

I am adding to this post, not removing the original content. And I'd like to say that it has been a beautiful journey to be Elizabeth's Mom and to be part of her life. I hope Eli, that one day you can go over this blog that I've created for you and that you will cherish our lives together. I'd like to title this blog" Adopting Mommy" instead. You've taken me, accepted me and made me a better person.

Original Post from 2008 when I created this blog: Some of the pics were taken at the foster home where she has lived since she was born. We have received these photos on a monthly basis together with her medical reports.

Adiciono a este parrafo, sin quitar el contenido original escrito en el 2008 cuando inicie este blog. Ha sido una experiencia fundamental en mi vida el ser madre y especialmente, madre de Eli. Y espero que un dia no muy lejano, puedas revisar cada comentario escrito, cada detalle de este blog y te llenes de alegria recordando cada viaje, anecdota, situacion, dia, evento, vividos juntas. Deseo llamar este blog " Adoptando a Mami" porque me has acogido, aceptado y moldeado para ser la persona que hoy soy.

Parrafo original:

Esta es nuestra Eli. Algunas de las
fotos han sido tomadas en la casa de familia donde ha vivido desde que nacio y
que recibimos junto con un reporte mensual medico.

Arriving home / Llegando a Casa

Eli did great on the flight Guatemala City to Atlanta. She slept for about two hours and woke up right after we had landed. She even did great at the airport waiting for immigration to process her docs. And three hours later, still at the Atlanta airport she did fine too. She observed everything. There was no detail she missed and her cooperation given the circumstances was great. We on the other hand, were tired and frustrated but Elizabeth's positive, happy attitude made us calm down and enjoy the moment. We missed the connecying flight and had to stay overnite in Atlanta.


This is her last look at her land who knows for how long. We would love to go back soon but it won't happen that quickly though.
This is Guatemala City from the air.
Baggage claim area at the Atlanta airport.
Manchester airport on March the 19th. Elizabeth was already coughing and sneezing plus she was coming from a city with an average temperature of 75 degrees so we didn't want to take a risk and we dressed her very warm before leaving the airport. She didn't like any of this big and heavy stuff but what she hated the most was the pair of mittens.
In the car on the way home...
Who knows what she is thinking or if she is thinking at all. She changed cities and places so often for the past week that she must have been pretty confused at this point.
