A new month, a new place

Rosalia scooting around the new deck.

On a clear day you can see several of the volcanoes.

Street next to central park -celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.

We moved this week into our new apartment. It is a 1 bedroom and smaller, but has some great views. We are also closer inside Antigua, so we can get anywhere pretty quick. There are a couple of other fostering moms in the complex as well, so we will have some others to play with.

On Friday we learned that PGN released some cases... so things are starting to move, but WE will still need a birthmother interview (different from what the social worker has already done.) We have heard in some of the interviews the mothers have been coerced into changing their minds, but most of the time they stand their ground with their decision to give the child up for adoption. If the BM is nervous and doesn't answer a question right, or they think there is anything questionable, they have "seized" the child and placed him/her somewhere without telling the BM or attorneys where till they investigate further.

It has been crazy times here and we have heard of several orphanages closing because there is no longer money to take care of the children. There are also many stories that I can't relay here. There are a lot of anxious parents (as you can imagine), but at least we saw some movement of things moving forward and hope to see more this week.

Rosalia has been pulling up on everything and loves to walk holding onto mommies fingers. Hope everyone has a great June. We have had rain every day the last week.

Love to all. Linda and Rosalia
