July 26th, 2009

A big day for our family. We just found out tonight that will be our GOTCHA DAY. Don't worry if you're not familiar with that term (I just informed Steve what it means). It is a beloved word in adoption circles meaning the day you meet and "get" your child. Since many children can't really celebrate a true birthday, some families more concentrate on GOTCHA DAY. In true Koproski (formerly known as Printki) form, we'll celebrate both. *more opportunity for cake.* We got an email from our agency coordinator letting us know we will meet Quinn on Sunday (we will arrive in his orphanage city on Friday.)

One more crazy thing... my best friend, Lisa, who will be training to Xi'an to be there with us for our "Gotcha Day" will be celebrating her BIRTHDAY that day. So this trip to see us and meet Quinn is kinda like her birthday present. And now will forever share a link to our son. I'm telling you, I couldn't write a post as amazing as this adoption story is turning out to be :)
