We made it in this morning and went straight to get the approval letter to meet the girls. From there we went to the orphanage. We were briefed by the director's assistant and then allowed to go meet them. First "Sonya" then "Darcy"... "Sonya"/ Sophia came right out and straight to me with her arms open wide and a huge smile on her face! It felt like she had been a part of our family a long time instead of just meeting. She cuddled both of us and was just happy to see us. We had to say good bye so she could go eat and we could meet "Darcy"/ Anastasia. Anastasia came right out and straight to me as well... smiling! How lucky could we be??? She went to Tim and then wouldn't let him go! She was hugging his neck very tight and kissing him over and over. We were afraid she would be upset when they made her go back inside the groupa, but they got her to let go and say goodbye. It was wonderful! They are beautiful. We weren't able to stay long, but will get to go back tomorrow. We spent the rest of our day doing paperwork (or watching it get done). They have made great strides and are looking at having court as early as next Tuesday! :) Prayers that all works out! It has been a wonderful day!

OMG!yesterday we didnt had internet access, and was dying to see this post
ReplyDeleteThey both are BEAUTIFUL!! and Im glad that for them it was also love at first sight!FELICIDADES!
Got to look at the site today for the 1st time and all I want to do is cry, had to hang up talking to Linda so I could take it all in. True, you are blessed but the biggest blessing is that they are "ours" now and I am so so happy. I really don't think they could have found a better Mommy and Daddy than the both of you. Ya'll are awesome and I'm glad God led you to these beautiful girls--now bring em on home and lets have a REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you both and have a safe trip home.
