And I hate to tell you this, but the prayers won't stop here. Meeting and leaving your child is the hardest thing you will ever do. I remember posting about the prayers in between trips. http://withtwopugs.blogspot.com/2011/02/its-been-hard-week.html<br /><br />Just hold tight to your faith and your loved ones.... because trust me when I say it is SO SO SO worth it! <br /><br />Off to read the other blogs.Christen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367964545213198646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900490338083879945.post-81367857014754645382011-11-08T07:36:30.436-06:002011-11-08T07:36:30.436-06:00Similar story- I remember visiting the orphanage o...Similar story- I remember visiting the orphanage once and while waiting on our child, in walked a social worker with two children, a boy about age 5 and his sister, maybe 3. The little boy was holding her hand and comforting her, but they were both crying, and seemed terrified. They were sitting on a bench across from us, huddled together. Their father had just brought them in. Their mother had died, and apparently, he had no means of supporting them. He told them he would come back for them, but our interpreter told us that was unlikely. I will NEVER forget their faces. It broke my heart.Team Bedzykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016573995712625278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900490338083879945.post-71924440862293256402011-11-07T23:02:34.076-06:002011-11-07T23:02:34.076-06:00Wow.

On our court trip the director said "thanks for adopting him, there is always a waiting list" <br /><br />Can't even imagine what goes through those poor baby's minds. Then what do they think when they are children, when they start to know what's going on? UGH.<br /><br />I hope your journey is swift.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967418540127005723noreply@blogger.com
