Today all 3 girls went to school with the M girls. That left Pete, Kaiden, and I with the morning free. We thought this would be a good time to find Kaiden's "finding place". This is the place where Kaiden was abandoned. It's part of his police record so we had the exact address. It was only a 40 minute ride from where we are staying so we called a taxi and were off.
Here are a few pictures. He was found outside of a hotel room door. That seemed kind of odd to me. Normally children are abandoned in a very busy place like in front of the police station or at the orphanage gates so that they are found very quickly. It was a very strange feeling to be there. I had a hard time imagining all of the feelings that must have gone through his birth mother's mind. I'm thankful that he has become apart of our family but at the same time, I have a deep sadness for his mother.
When we returned home from there, I took Pete and Kaiden for a walk to show them around where Mrs. M had taken me yesterday afternoon. We did a bit of grocery shopping just to see how the locals have to do it here. There aren't not any major chains like Kroger or Meijer that we are used to. Just two small markets within walking distance that have to cater to roughly 50+ different nationalities that live around here. It was nice quiet time for just the 3 of us. We did a little bit of shopping and headed home just in time to greet the girls at the bus. They all had a wonderful day. K3 even said she wants to go to school. Of course she'll changer her tune once we get home and back to our normal homeschooling schedule.
