We made it home tonight...Our luggage hasn't quite made it yet, but I have faith in Northwest Airlines to get it here eventually! We had to give Maria back to her Foster Mother last night around 7PM. It was incredibly difficult to give her back knowing that the next time we see her could be more than a couple of months away. You can tell however that she loves being with Lidia, her foster mother. Lidia also loves Maria. She asked me when we thought we would be back to get her and after my reply of "a couple of months"....she stated she didn't think that was long enough for her to say goodbye to Maria. It is comforting to know that Maria is with someone who loves her so much!
