We met Nathan Atner!



We made it to Majuro and within 2 hours, I was able to hold Nathan in my arms. He is smaller than I expected, but very alert. We met 2 other couples also adopting. One is at our hotel. We (us and other couple) were able to take our babies' birth moms out for lunch. The language barrier is somewhat difficult. We also took Nathan for his passport picture. Our court date is Monday at 9:00am (Sunday 4pm Knoxville time).

We went to the grocery store which was a different experience. We paid $10.20 for a case of diet mountain dew, but trust me, in this heat, it was the BEST we had ever had. We cannot get enough fluids in.

Kids are in bed now, Dennis and I tried to calculate how long it had been since we got up in Hawaii, but it was too hard. With crossing the international date line, and arriving in the NEXT day, we just couldn't "do the math." I just know we are all tired.
Please continue to pray, especially for this dear birth mom during this difficult time.
Pictures may be kinda few and far between, the internet is very slow.
Love you all,
Kathy
