The First Pics...

Here are the first pics of Zack and Sophia. There are no other pictures of my two Russian angels prior to these two. Sometimes I am sad that I missed out on their baby years and wasn't able hold them, feed them, cuddle them...take pictures of them, but I realize that at some point in time their biological mother must have loved them enough to want them in her life. This thought stems from the fact that these are the pics taken of each when they entered the orphanage system. The story behind that entry is theirs to tell, but I hope that the precious girl that gave birth to them knows down deep that her babies are in good hands.

Sophia has no recollection of anything before the orphanage. Zack may but has never spoken of a mama prior to me. He has recounted many stories from the Pelican (orphanage), but he has never told stories of his life before then.

Some day, I plan to locate their bio mom and send her a letter with pictures, but that will have to be much later as it costs money to do this type of search. There are many costs involved in post adoption life! Some anticipated and some not...

So look at these two emotionless faces of two kids who had to have been scared and insecure and rejoice with me that those blank faces now have HUGE smiles!!!! And, even more important is that their hearts are full of love!

On the haircut note, I simply can't let Kenny go any longer w/o a haircut. As of today, he is looking homeless!
