virtual trip one: sweetest success!
Tippi is perfect. She is funny, cheeky, curious, imaginative, ‘emotional and radiant’. We have had Skype visits the last four days (from 3-4am our time, 10-11am Bulgaria time). Developmentally she completely blew us away. She interacted with us, waving and blowing kisses, and asking her caregivers who we are (her receptive language is amazing and her expressive language is starting to explode). She loved seeing our dogs “bow bows”, playing with dolls, and having tea parties (drinking “chai”). She moved around independently and is literally the most beautiful sweet tiny human you ever did see.
Saying goodbye was impossibly heart breaking. The next time we see her will almost certainly be when we pick her up. :( When will that be? Ooof, we still have no set timeline. Best case scenario would be July, worst case October. Right now I’m trying to tell myself that no matter the date, she is coming home THIS year!
