We had a great day at the orphanage today! Even had the opportunity to skype home so that V could see the kids and they got to see him. It was too loud to talk as we had extra kids to spend time with us!
For most of our visit, V was doing fine - but then towards the end he became a little jealous of all the time that mom and dad were spending playing with the other kids. When I it was time to go, two girls grabbed my hands and V got upset. I had Victor tell him that we were his parents and we loved him the most, but these children had no one. He still didn't like it much...
It is amazing how very much these children soak up any attention! They are like a dried up flower needing water and when you talk to them, show an interest and affection - you can see such a difference in them, the light inside turns on and they bloom. I hope I never get callous to their need.
We won't get to see the kids tomorrow, we have some paperwork to get done. I am all for whatever it takes to get things rolling as well as a break in the routine! We have about 4 1/2 hours a day occupied and the rest is down time. For those coming - bring anything you can think of to do!
Tomorrow is a critical day for us - we will know then how things stand and IF we get to have court on Friday. We are praying very hard - hoping for good news and that it all comes together! I am hoping my next post is a joyous one!

Lydia,
ReplyDeleteHoping and praying for good news today. Snow is in the forecast for Wed night and Thursday. It will finally get cold here. At least it is December. How many are in V's class? How are the teachers? Pro adoption? Jeff may be home in time for the next Colts' game! Cindy
