Received the final approval for the adoption of k and k on the 26th and was on a plane headed their way by the 28th! They were surprised to see us.
We've had a busy couple of days but one of the highlights was meeting the kids uncle and family. He truly loves the kids and after their parents passed away he made the heart breaking decision to put them in orphan care. Then without interruption, continued to visit them each month. Today they invited us to their home for a dinner prepared by his wife. Their hospitality was precious in that they have so little yet they still wanted to share. The uncle presented Kidus with a necklace that once belong to Kidus father and gave Kalkidan a pair of earrings that were her mothers. He had kept these items to pass on to them once k and k were grown. You could see the ache on his and his wifes face as they said, what could possibly be, their forever goodbyes. I pray that part of Gods amazing plan, is to quell the pain of separation and transform our salutations to " see you soon"
