I spoke with Gertrude yesterday and said we are coming to Latvia on November 10. She answered with her usual "yes" but it was a definitive and excited one. I asked if she is happy we are coming and I got another excited "yes." We are working feverishly to prepare for our trip. There is so much to do it is mind-boggling but we're getting there! Besides the normal packing for a trip, there is gifts to get for orphanage directors and kids in the orphanage, phones to use in Europe, adaptors and converters, and the list goes on! Plus all the normal tasks of daily living before we go.
We got an e-mail today from the Minstry today actually naming Gertrude. Now we are sure we're getting the right child! The subject was "warrant" which automatically made my heart jump a beat, because I usually equate that word with "warrant for your arrest" or a "search "warrant" but it was a warrant to allow us to get acquainted with adoptable child, Gertrude Liepina. So, of course we replied that we accept and wish to proceed. Soon we will see our little girl. It is hard to believe we are actually going but it's coming fast!
