Medicals and Reunion

Bright and early this morning, we were off to get our medical checks at the University Clinic. After meeting with almost all of the same doctors we met with last time, they signed off that we are healthy enough to be parents. As part of the process, we met with the same psychologist as last time. He remembered us from two years ago. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not, but he was the only one throughout this process that acknowledged our recidivism and simply signed off. Finally someone who recognized that this process tends to be more complicated than it needs to be given our recent adoption. We laughed because of all the people, he really could have dug into our preparedness. I guess we will take a reprieve anytime we can get one.

Our afternoon visit with Macy went better than expected. We remembered how much Max threw a fit upon our arrival for court and anticipated the same reception from her. She didn't disappoint, but warmed up much quicker than he did.

Since the weather here is so nice, we had our visit outside today. We walked around a path until she felt comfortable enough to play on some of the equipment on the grounds. She really enjoyed the swings, which is where we spent the majority of the time playing.

Before long, she began to interact with us and smile as we played peek-a-boo and teased her. We would tap on the seat of the swing, and she would tap back, saying "tap, tap, tap.". She loved to give high-fives as she swung back and forth. At one point, I think she even broke out in song.

Tomorrow, we have our court date. We will prepare for that tonight without translator. After court tomorrow, we will visit her once again and hope for another warm reception.
