Update #4–She couldn’t be more perfect
Jerome called me yesterday on the way back from Danville. Mombo and I had just enjoyed POLLYANNA at the community theatre and saw Bruce and Lee perform. It was wonderful to hear Jerome’s happy voice (even though he still sounds a little hoarse). I could hear Janet and Juliana in the background. He put her on the phone with me and I told her “Hola, nina.” He said she wanted to kiss the phone. I want to correct what I said in the last post. He says that indeed, she has been held a great deal and has not been down and able to learn to crawl about, but for that reason she has been spoiled into being held all the time. She does not want to be put down. So he said, “We didn’t get the chance to spoil her–she already is spoiled.” I’m sure that she just needs the chance, and she will quickly learn how to be mobile. They go today to get her visa. I know they are anxious to get her home. They have not been able to get out much, even though the weather has been nice. The adoption company will not allow them to take the baby out of the hotel. Meals have been ordered in for the adoptive families. Or they can eat at the hotel restaurant. Juliana is sleeping and eating well, so they have been able to get rest as well. They will call when they get into Houston tomorrow. Pray for their protection. They will soon be on their way home.
