In case you didn't know by the title the gotcha date is the anniversary of when you got your child. Just as important as a birthday if not more. It has been a year this Thanksgiving since we got our little princessa from Medellin and so much has changed. Maria only speaks English now with a few words of spanish mixed in. We have no idea why she refuses to speak spanish but are assured it's quite normal. We hope to start school next fall and then she will re-learn spanish again at the Immersion school. We miss Colombia and wish we could afford a trip back every year. Our Joy right now is that our other adopted Colombian girl Tatiana will be here for the holidays bringing a little of Colombia to us. Maria has blended in to our neighborhood wonderfuly and is a big hit among the neighbors she loves to play outside and she loves her new pre-school. Although I have journeled a lot of the hastles of adopting We would not change a thing because of the wonderful person we have in our lives. Part of us would love to do it again If we had the time money and most importantly the room in our house.
