Due date has come and gone. Maggie was born November 24, 2019. Because we were heading into the holiday season, we used the month of December to collect donations and try to figure out the logistics of how to deliver a gift halfway across the world to Alizee. A gift certificate from a local store in Ajaccio that specializes in baby products was our first choice.
Scruffydog has visited Corsica several times and has a contact there. By a stroke of luck, the contact's daughter Nathalie owns a children's store near where Alizee lives. She is also very good friends with her and was willing to help us, so at that point the hard part was over.
It seems like a minor detail, but finding somebody in Corsica to work with that speaks English is a big accomplishment. From Scruffy's travels there, he had said that the use of English there is not widespread compared to the mainland. Nathalie doesn't have perfect English, but good enough.
