Day Four: Passports, Ajiaco and Delays

Today we had a check list of things to get done in hopes Thursday would be our Gotcha day.

We went to Movistar to complain about their service and try getting either reimbursed or receive a month's service. Fortunately, Movistar said we would have service by noon Thursday.

Afterward, we went to a notario to sign our power of attorney document for the legal representative during the adoption process. The line wasn't very long and we were able to knock it out within about thirty minutes.

The notario was located about a block from Claudia's grandmother's house. Her grandmother was cooking a Colombian specialty soup called Ajiaco. It's a soup filled with peas, chicken, cilantro and a small piece of corn on the cob.

We enjoyed spending a couple of hours catching up with Abuela and Claudia's cousin Miguelacho.

At 2 p.m. we headed to pick up Claudia's passport. Luckily we didn't need to wait in a line like Monday (three hours).

The entire day we were waiting for a call to confirm Gotcha Day for Thursday. The call never came.

We finally spoke with our liason Lucia, who said it wouldn't be Thursday. Instead, the Colombian agency wants to wait to allow Little Baby Forrester time to get well.

There was always a chance it wouldn't occur this week, but we were always hopeful.
