negotiating my way to a better G&R date
Now for the really big, good news... we heard from the agency coordinator who said no definite plans have been made for the G&R ceremony date yet. BUT they were thinking that it would either be Monday July 9th and/or Tuesday July 10th. But we won't know for sure until all 7 families have touched ground in Viet Nam. they are thinking of spitting our very large group into two different G&R days. So one very lucky group would have their G&R on Monday while the other group gloomily sulked back at the hotel. So me being me... i suggested i'd be allowed to set the schedule. Really i think i came up with a brilliant solution.... My Plan is that they take the Da Nang families (3 families adopting 3 infants) to the orphanage on Monday so they could play with their kids. Then they should take the remaining families (4 families adopting 6 kids) to Tam Ky so we could have our G&R ceremony. My brilliant logic being that those of us adopting the older sibs would need the extra time to bond with the kids. And it's easy enough to take the Da Nang families to the local orphanage since it was right there in town. Then on Tuesday, while we bonded with our older kids, the Da Nang family would have their G&R. Really this is a win win situation. We'll see if my cleverness makes its way to Those Who Rule Our Lives. but i still say my way is the best way : )
