| One month ago... |
One month ago... we wondered what our children would be like as we drove through the Russian countryside.
One month ago... We laid eyes on our sons for the first time.
One month ago... we held our children in our arms for the first time.
One month ago... I measured their tiny fingers against mine.
One month ago... I watched their blue eyes light up as they discovered all of the new things we had brought for them.
One month ago... I melted at their smiles(even with all of the tooth decay).
One month ago... we played ball and chased bubbles outside on the orphanage lawn/concrete.
One month ago... we walked hand in hand as we strolled through their little village.
One month ago... I watched as they painted and colored and stretched plastic lizards until their tails broke, squealing with delight.
One month ago... we gave them what I think was their first stuffed animals.
One month ago... we fell in love with two little boys, our sons, on the other side of the world.
One month ago... we were told, "You'll be back in about a month to bring them home. Everything is in order."
Today... my body aches to hold them again.
Today... we don't know when we will return. We have no court date.
Today... is one month closer than we were, but I still feel so helpless.
Today... I pray for God to hold them in His mighty arms, protect them, watch over them, and keep them safe and well until we can get them.
Today... I pray that they know we love them and we will be back as soon as possible to bring them into their forever family.
Sweet, sweet boys, we love you and miss you terribly. |

Don't worry, they will come home.

Beautiful post. I hope you can retrieve them soon. Has it really been a month? I guess they meant one month Russia time, not your time. It is slow, but it will happen.

I hope you get that court date call soon.
