It has already been 2 months since we've been matched with our girls! I realize we have months on wait ahead of us, but this seems to be going really fast. Praying that our time apart continues to feel this same way.
I want so badly to post pictures of them and share details, we are, however, not allowed to do that at this point. We can not share names or ages, but I will tell you that we are adopting out of birth order with both of them and I will refer to them as "T" and "B". =)
When we got their referrals, we were literally bombarded with all of their history. Another thing I love about working with Bethany, they research and investigate all the children in their care. Therefore, we have their history! I received multiple 40+ page reports on each. Literally hundreds of email update reports, pictures and videos. I admit I scanned the writings and went straight to the pictures and videos! Now, I have a chance to sit back and review our children's stories, look over medical reports, dream about what I'm told their personalities are like, etc. I am falling so in love with these 2!!
For "T", English is her 3rd language. She recently "ranked 2nd out of 45 students" at her school! And is a "very smart student"! She was awarded a diary for her accomplishments. I am so proud of her!
"B" apparently is a chatter-box. =) She likes to be the center of attention. Her friends have a nickname for her which means talkative and they say that "she will talk to a stone some day if there is no one around". LOL!! Solomon is gonna have some competition over here!!
Both girls like to play with dolls, are social, are athletic and respectful. LOVE hearing and reading about them. Realizing that this will likely be full of challenges in every way, I am still super ready to travel to Ethiopia and bring them both home. And, especially to give them a family, which every child on this planet deserves!
God has lead us to them and we leave it all in His Mighty Authority about what lies ahead for all of us.
Relying on my Heavenly Father in all things....that's a pretty great place to be!
