Holding On

Lately, we have been moving at such a fast pace that it feels hard to soak it all in at times. Then out of nowhere, one of us will bring up the two beautiful babes and our hearts stretch a little and yearn  even more for them to be with our family. 

We are trying to remain hopeful despite knowing that there is so little we are actually in control of, and that we just have to wait to see if each passing day brings with it any more news. Before May 7th we could cling to hope so easily. Now, with the faces and names of these two beautiful babes etched on our hearts, it sometimes feels much harder to cling to that hope.

We want to comfort them. Love on them. Help them to know that they are valued and loved by so many. They have a great purpose and this is all part of their story.

The immigration process is going to be changing once again and when we received the email informing us about this, our hearts sank a little deeper. The last thing we want is for a paper to be what keeps us from our babes. Apparently this won't take effect until September 1st, but there is still so much up in the air. Honestly, we are praying for a timeline miracle - which I am sure every other parent is too - but our hearts ache when considering how this could extend the months before we hold our babes.
