We have also planned our visit trip to Guatemala. We will be leaving Sioux Falls on Friday, August 25th and returning Monday, September 4th. We are so excited to be going to meet Maria for the first time, we can't hardly stand it! We are going to spend Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday in Guatemala City and then go to the tourist haven of Antiqua, Monday through Thursday and back to Guatemala City, Friday through Sunday and home on Monday.
Guatemala City
Although some families decide against going on a visit trip because they believe it will be too hard to leave the baby and return home, we have decided that it will be well worth it. I believe that we will be able to do some initial bonding with Maria as well as see first hand how much her foster mother loves her and how well she is being taken care of. We will get to have Maria in our hotel for the entire time we are in Guatemala, so it will be very exciting....and probably a bit exhausting! We'll take lots of pictures and hopefully be able to post while we are there.
