Today we got up early to go to the Orphanage to have a short meeting with the Govt official to see if we could proceed with the adoption. He asked a few questions and seemed very pleased and now all our paperwork gets forwarded to the court and we wait for our court date. We then got to tour the orphanage and see where she has been living since she was 11 months old. The people there are fantastic and run the place like a well oiled machine. It breaks your heart being there you just want to take all of them home. I was especially drawn to 3 girls that were all sisters. I was relieved and happy to find they were going to a very nice couple in Texas. Afterward we went to the Botaro museum. If you haven't heard of him(niether have I) He is a famous Colombian artist that paints everything large all of his figures appear fat and so do his sculptures. I will say this he is now my favorite artist his painting are beautiful along with his sculptures and he is from right here in medellin although he resides in France now. Tommorow our plan is to see where maria is from. Because it is an extremly dangerous place we will be seeing it from the metro which we were assured is safe. To give you an idea how dangerous it is, this is where the famous drug lord Pablo escobar is from and not even the police will go there.
