We are so blessed that the Ethiopian community in Chicago is so supportive of us as adoptive parents that they put together a wonderful string of cultural classes for us adoptive parents and kids, but I start to get concerned when our little Guatemalteco starts telling everyone he is from Ethiopia! That being said, we were so excited when we heard that the Guatemalan adoptive parents group had combined forces with Casa Guatemala to put on a Christmas party at Mayan Essance, the fair trade store in Chicago, complete with homemade Guatemalan food that was fantastic, a Mayan prayer and a performacne by Marimba Ixchel. Even though it was so packed that you could barely move, the food was out of this WORLD! There were so many things I had never tried before and would really like to learn how to make. E1 and E2 cut a rug to the marimba music to the delight of everyone around us. It was a wonderful afternoon and we so look forward to some combined Guatemalan Community and Adoptive Parent get togethers in the future!
