Welcoming Our New Cousins
We welcomed new cousins into our family last month: Evelin and Jose! Our daughters' godparents/padrinos, Scott and Stacey, are finalizing an international Costa Rican adoption with two wonderful little people. Evelin and Jose are brother and sister and ages 8 and 3 respectively. The girls love having a new girl cousin their age and take very seriously being "older" cousins to little Jose.We traveled to San Jose to spend a long weekend with the new cousins at the tail end of the girls' school spring break. Then, about a week later, our cousins came to spend about 1 and 1/2 weeks in Nosara while waiting on the finalization of a few steps of their adoption process.
They have been here for 5-6 weeks so far and plan to leave CR for New York in just a few days- having completed what has been about a 2 year process start to finish. A massive congratulations to them and a huge BIENVENIDOS/Welcome to Evelin and Jose! We are SO happy to have you in our family!
On the way back from SJ trips we often stop for ice cream where these statues are located.In related (adoption-wise) news: about a week ago we got word from the US that this upcoming summer our girls get to interview for their US citizenship. I turned in the girls' application last July and had heard NOTHING from them until an email last week. I was relieved, of course, to realize even without any communication to us, the process had been underway.
Citizenship Day is in September and we will be celebrating it in person,
in the US this year!
