The waiting game







My mom came to visit me and it's been amazing! This had been the longest stretch of time that I had not seen a single member of my family and it was truly affecting me. To see my mamita has been great!



We've had a lot of fun with Nataly and Joselyn. They love their "Abuelita."



Today we did bumper cars! Yesterday she took us to KFC and that's a HUGE treat around here!



We went to the doctor yesterday to get one step closer to bringing their forever family down here.



It seems to be dragging out....and it's so hard to wait. It's so hard to explain to the girls that NO one wants to wait this long but it's what we have to do.



At the doctor's office we met the social worker from the agency and she gave us a package from the forever family. Two brand new dresses, sweaters and loads of hair things were among the surprises. They were giddy with excitement! There was also a letter and a video and a little booklet of pictures. In the waiting room I let them look through the pictures.



They recognized everyone right away. They pointed excitedly to the pictures and said, "look there's my Daddy.... that's my big sister, that's my baby brother.... there's Mommy!"



It was so precious! The s.w. was wiping away tears!



Hopefully this excrutiating waiting game won't be much longer!



I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on the family... to have 2 beautiful, precious little girls and not be able to meet them yet! We keep trusting in God's timing!



The pictures are of the girls primping up their Abuelita. She got the full-on salon treatment!

I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
