We are back in Riga with Deniss. We couldn't stay at Likumi too long bacause we had an appointment to get Deniss' new Latvian passport. We have appointments tomorrow starting at 10AM with doctors. The doctor reports are needed when we go to the US Embassy in Warsaw.
After arriving at Likumi, Aaron and Deniss went out to play football (soccer). Soon there were many boys in on the game. Ken and I gave up and went inside to talk to the adults. We gave the ladies their presents. I had made a special scrapbook for Zenta using some of the pictures from last summer. She is coming to America again this summer with the New Horizons group. We are planning to take her out to dinner again.
When it was time to go, a lot of the children gathered around the car. Zenta and one of Deniss' longtime caregivers began to cry. Even one of Deniss' friends began to cry. As much as everyone was happy to see him with a family, they are also going to miss him. Likumi has been his home for almost 10 years. These people were all the family that he has had. So it was sad and happy at the same time. Deniss looked a little sad but after getting away from that area, he was all smiles! I am sure that he has some mixed emotions right now. Who wouldn't?
