We spent most of the day doing some domestic chores, including grocery shopping and laundry, and then just relaxed watching movies on HBO while we took turns dozing off. . .that would be Bret and me, not the kids.
In the evening we met four other U.S. families who are here to adopt children. We met at the Shanker Hotel, not far from our apartment, where three of the four families are staying. The grounds and pool were pretty and we all had a nice evening, sharing notes on where to eat, where to buy bubbles for the kids (very important and difficult to find), play areas and sightseeing suggestions. Under the category of 'You've got to be kidding,' one of the families is from Mineral Wells, Texas, which is the very small town where Bret was born. Bret and his fellow Texans actually know some of the same people. The world just keeps getting smaller.

Of course God works in mysterious ways, and this is just one more step in your journey. What a blessing Bishwa/Wynn will surely be to your life and your family. and ps: I've had a "rainbow" experience in my life too!
