Day four( Dave)

I believe Susan said everything well. Here are a few additions as I think over little things.
The pictures on the files were from when they first arrived at the orphanage. We learned the mother's name. We all gave a sigh of releif when we looked at those younger photos and saw our wanted childrens faces in those younger ones. One of the questions was do you want to consider these girls? Yes.   Do you want to look at photos of other children before you choose these?   No.    I think to my self at that point: This has got to be a trick question!  No.
The woman talking to us tells the file contents through the interpreter. I think about what were their feelings as these things took place in their young lives. We learn a little and I ponder with these new daughters how I can best be a father to them to heal their hurts, honer their bravery and remember all they have overcome thus far.
Wed. we will see the younger one for the first time in some nine months. She is older and taller now. We will meet the older sister for the first time in person. We have been told she is shy but she does very much want our family and the move. I can think of at least five good reasons she has not, other than to say she is willing, not reached back out to us. The first one would be." Lets see if they even show up"
Well we will travel through the night on Tuesday and" Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise"  We will be there, Her family who wants her and her sister,there to see her, in person, in Zaperosiapha Ukraine.
God's best to you and thank you for your prayers.
The first five minutes may be the happiest, Then the work starts, The work of becoming a family.
Ps. Our son Brandon and his wife Kate have announced.  They are expecting ITS A BOY!
