I finally went on my preview trip to visit Birgit. I only visited with her for 5 hours, but it was a good visit. She is an adorable little girl and very polite. I just wished that I could have brought her home with me right then. This whole adoption process has been long and frustrating for me. I know that it will be worth it when we finally do get her home. It probably won't be until July or August before we get our court date to get her. I am not looking forward to the wait, but I know that time goes by so fast that it will be here before we know it. I have lots of things left to do in getting ready for our trip as well as getting her room finished.

In this picture, I was allowed to take her to lunch. She loves coke! She cleaned her plate and then took her plate to the rack that was used for dirty dishes.
