If you feel you have to take a gift, take something regional-then it could be a "friend meeting friend" gift, and not a "pick me" gift. We are (crossing fingers) going to get our second adopted daughter in 2 weeks...She just needs to get born! And the final paper signed. Its been a long road, but one that I know has had purpose. As I listened to my 5 year old run and talk to her cousin today, again I am reminded that she was only meant to be with our family-even though the powers that be messed up and let her be born in Russia! Be true to yourself and the family will come. I can't wait to read about that!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154397821289250956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-49888782321696189792009-07-01T10:18:30.815-07:002009-07-01T10:18:30.815-07:00How exciting!!

A small gift would be nice too and I bet it would be appreciated. (Desperate would be a new car.) A small token of some sort shows you acknowledge the enormity of the meeting and the persons involved and everything that is at stake including the birthmother's feelings. A gift shows you are thinking of her and not just the baby you are hoping to take home one day. Good luck and keep us posted! ha ha. Posted! Get it?

I...Exciting! I hope this all works out for you! <br /><br />I will 2nd about the boarding. It is really nice to leave the pups in a place you know you don't have to think about them, so you can stay focused on what you are doing.<br /><br />Best of luck with your meeting.

And at the same time I am hoping and praying for you that this trip is the beginning of this longed-for change in your life.<br /><br />Safe and happy travels, dear friend.annacyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461037288546901657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-14438375113261123322009-06-30T17:30:49.731-07:002009-06-30T17:30:49.731-07:00Oooh, Deathstar, good luck!!

(With or without bikini wax, lol.) <br /><br />My girlfriend often boards her dog when they're away for an extended period. The dog loves it -- lots of other doggies to play with. It's like a vacation for her too! : )loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-87178642395285682902009-06-30T14:56:18.069-07:002009-06-30T14:56:18.069-07:00You have amazing friends!

I am fairly certain they won't be doing a cavity search on you :)<br /><br />Some simple flowers would be a nice touch. I do think that gifts at a first meeting might be a bit too much like saying "pick me, pick me!!"<br /><br />I would let Juno stay here but I am guessing the airfare for her might be a bit high :)OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-11911256097731300872009-06-30T12:49:56.863-07:002009-06-30T12:49:56.863-07:00Oh Deathstar,

I am sending you lots and lots of love and warm thoughts for this trip!<br /><br />I always have anxiety about leaving Lucy with someone -- but I'll tell you -- I would do a highly rated boarding service next time -- last time I left Lucy with a woman who bred dogs -- someone I thought seemed nice with good facilities -- but she never walked us around the facility (we should have been more forceful) -- and things seemed a tiny bit chaotic in her office -- and in retrospect I would go with a well respected boarding service -- even if pricey --one you can check out thoroughly -- that's just my two cents...<br /><br />It will go wonderfully -- and Juno will love you all the more when you return!<br /><br />XOXOOX<br /><br />PamWordgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580973104447557466noreply@blogger.com
