Sorry that I haven’t posted lately – hopefully you’ve seen the updates Gina has done at http://ginamarie-justrambling.blogspot.com/ . We have been on a rollercoaster – for me, both physically and emotionally. But it seems the hardest part regarding the adoption is over! Court was long (1 hour and 20 minutes) but went well. I have been given the legal right to Zack and Sophia, their birth certificates will now show that I am their Mother!
I am still very tired, but Gina encouraged me to write to all my friends and family. Some of the things I noticed about my children:
1. Sophia has grown much taller, although she is still very thin.
2. Zack’s face seems fuller, although he too seems to have grown – though not as much as Sophia.
3. Sophie’s clothes were tagged with markers, which broke me heart. It seemed as though she is just a number. Soon, that will change for her! I can tell you right now there will NOT be markings on her Juicy Couture jacket (that’s for YOU Heather!)
I can’t wait to have them both in my arms outside of the orphanages! I can’t wait to show them that I AM taking them home and will love them forever! I can’t wait to love on them and nurture them and bring them to their big family, who are all waiting to love them as well. I am ready to get into the car at 7:30 tomorrow, thanking God that it is the last time I will need to drive that long trip but knowing at the end I will have the two little lives that I’ve prayed for for so long!
I am very happy to be a Mother!
