New Pictures

This afternoon we got new pictures of our sweet, sweet babies. Haven is smiling big for the camera and her hair has grown alot. Alec just looks longer! He looks like a long skinny boy. He is also smiling for his pictures. This time instead of the vulcan sign he has his pinky up.
I am so happy and relieved to see them happy and growing.
Haven looked so sad in her last picture. I worried about how sad she looked. I knew that she has just be relocated to Toukoul in May after being at the Meki orphanage for a little over a year.
But she seems to be happy and growing.
Alec just seems to be happy all around.
I have a hard time turing my mind off. I worry about how they will bond. What kind of parents we will be and will we be able to help them through the loss that they will feel not knowing their birth parents.
At least we have Haven's birth Mom's name that maybe some day she can find some of her relatives. Alec has no information of his birth family and his birth date is not even known. How will he process this information and deal with the that loss. Will he have the desire to find out where he came from??
We now have 11 more days until court. So close but so far away.
I just want to bring them home.

I hope court goes through with flying colors, can't wait to see pics of your sweeties

The wait almost seems harder after you get the referral because the pictures make it seem so real all of a sudden. Sitting over here with your children over there becomes nearly unbearable. Just distract yourself with thinking about your baby shower!

They are going to be with parents who love them and everything will be great! Lots of challenges are ahead for you, but all families have those.
