August 18--Defender of Minors

Today, we got all dressed up to meet with the Defender of Minors at Bienestar Familiar. She was a very nice woman who questioned us about parenting, our work, and adjusting to Silas. From our interview, she made a favorable recommendation to the court that our adoption proceed. Our adoption representative and our lawyer accompanied us to this meeting. 

This is Helena, our Alliance for Children representative. She is wonderful and arranges everything for us. She picked us up from the airport, took us to CRAN to adopt Silas, translates all our legal meetings. She handles all the legal requirements, as well as helps us go shopping when there is a need. Currently she is working hard to locate a store in Bogota that sells Crocs :)
