It has been a very busy 2 days. We were able to get our referral early yesterday instead of waiting the whole day and we were able to leave at 2:00 p.m. to drive to Zap. Sasha drove us and those who have have had the pleasure of riding with him can understand when I say that it seemed like a flash and we were in Zap. We arrived about 8:30 p.m. to a thunderstorm. Our friend Nina took us over to our apartment and it is so nice. We met Nina at 9:00 a.m. to begin the process and what a day it has been. Now, you have to meet and be interviewed by some official, not the inspector, in which it lasted about an hour. Then he gave the approval and off we went with the inspector to the orphanage. The kids were brought back from camp to meet us at the orphanage. It has been a year since we saw them last and I tell you it was so emotional for Andy and I. After we had hugged and kissed them for awhile we all sat down in the directors office and spent about 45 minutes going through the questions and answers from the kids and finally each was asked if they wanted us as their Father and Mother and yes was the answer!!!! Our new son had his named picked out along time ago but our new daughter was not decided before we came . So we asked each of our 3 children to give us a name and middle name for her and we would present and let her choose . So from here on out our kids will be called David Joseph Garver and Ashley Lynn Garver. We have notarized all the papers today and tomorrow they will be submitted to the court for a court date. We should know something tommorrow afternoon. I have no Andy stories to tell, he was absolutely laid back and carefree. Until tomorrow-tell somebody you love them!
