OK, so a lot has gone on since last post. But last thing on my mind was blogging.
We flew to Poland nov 19 then I had to leave beginning of Dec because I was getting so far along in pregnancy so my mom came over and stayed the rest of the trip with my husband. They finally got to come home Dec 26th. So total 2nd trip was over a month.
But everyone's finally home!
Things we learned:
-You gotta go with the flow.
-Poland is gloomy, cold, and the air quality is poor most of the winter when we were there. Hardly any sun.
-Time creeps by when your family is spilt up.
-The orphanage does as best they can but I am glad to be letting my son eat some good wholesome foods.
-You have to have lots and lots of patience for Poland, your child, and the overall process or you'll go stark raving mad.
-Not as many people as you think speak English even though in research they supposedly do.
- We didn't learn enough polish before we went and many times needed it.
-You really can't travel much with a new child, as they are unpredictable and you can be caught far away with tantrums and can be hard to get back to apartment.
-Your child us really learning the world for the first time and you have to go with it and help them learn.
-We are thankful for our son but completely glad for the ridiculously long process to be done.
