Changes

We will be leaving for Romania Friday, getting there Saturday, and hopefully seeing the kids Sunday! There has been a lot of movement since last time I was in Tutova. Last spring after I left, Ioana (who was there during our second trip as well) went into foster care. Sammy, Maiastra, Andreea, and Ana-Maria (who were all there the first time my mom and I went to Tutova in March 2008) have left the clinic this fall. Maiastra and Ana-Maria went to a different in facility in Barlad, while Sammy and Andreea went home to their families! Last month Ionela had her cleft palate surgery, and earlier in the fall Alexandra went home for a while, but was brought back to the clinic by her family.
