M and I headed to adoption camp - he loves being here and there are a thousand things that I could write about, but I am starting to feel a little under the weather.

G's Birthday
Today is our youngest babe's birthday and he is on the other side of the world. We are thinking of him and praying that his day was filled with love. We can't wait for the day when we get to love on him in person and celebrate these special days with him.

An Update!!
Today is the anniversary of when we received the phone call matching us with M. It is also the anniversary of when we finalized our adoption with him here in the United States. Unfortunately we failed to realize this until he was already tucked away in bed sleeping soundly.
The day did not come to a close without some sort of excitement being had though. Right before we crawled into bed ourselves, we checked email one last time and there was an update about our two beautiful babes! We had just had a conversation about the longing we were feeling to know how they were doing! There were no pictures included, but we did receive another health and development report on each of them. The little lady has grown an inch and baby boy has two more teeth!
We are so grateful to read about growth being made and can't wait to wrap our arms around them.

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.
