Travel Informational Meeting

Oh boy, this is really starting to feel like it is really happening!  We had our travel meeting today with AI.  I have to admit, I'm getting pretty nervous.  Will the birth mom like us?  What if she takes one look at us and changes her mind?  What if the judge decides that we are not suitable adoptive parents?  We also discussed bonding issues with adopted children.  Our child is very very young so we don't anticipate any bonding issues, but what if there are?  We discussed appropriate attire for women as well as behavioral differences between Americans and Marshallese.  We have traveled extensively, but this is different on so many levels.  The people that we are meeting will be connected to us for as long as we live.  I just don't want to offend anybody.  Back to packing, just with a lot more nerves!
