Update on Girls

Sophie and Sage are doing wonderful! I'm not surprised, with everyone's prayers and best wishes, Thank you!!


I want to thank all for your support and great welcome home. We also appreciate everyone for giving us this "cocooning" time, right after we got home, and letting the girls acclimate and adjust to their new home and surroundings, as they still get used to their new family. This is such a critical time for them to form an exclusive attachment to us and have that emotional bond between parent and child that seem to come naturally with biological children. We are meeting their needs in loving and consistent ways as we feed, hold, and nurture them while keeping routines and teaching boundaries. They are now starting to act more comfortable around others and we have enjoyed a few short visits with some friends and family.

It's hard to believe they were living in an orphanage just a few weeks ago, now they are such a big part of our family and are such happy, playful girls.

They have their first doctors appointment in less then a week, so continue to pray for them. They look and act very healthy, although they are very small and dainty.

We have also enjoyed reading everyone's encouraging comments, it's been nice to share this journey and I will continue to share because I'm not into scrapbooking and I can print this out and WaLa- journal and baby book complete. So thank you and continue to follow as they grow so fast.
