We have the kids!

Hi Everyone,

I could write for a very long while, but don't have the time so it will have to wait. I cannot wait to share it all with you. It has been an AMAZING day! If you truly want to know God and feel HIS presence....adopt! I have NEVER experienced anything close to what we did today. We flew in from Dubai this morning, then had a break at the hotel for a little while. After that we drove to a town that took us about two hours to get to with all the traffic (both cars and goats and horses :-) so we could meet the birthmom. We then drove back into town after dark and went to pick up the kids. They are SO precious! My heart is full of joy and aches at the same time. It aches for their precious mother who made such an unselfish sacrifice and it aches for all the kids we left behind at the orphanage tonight. I can't wait to tell you everything. We didn't have much time with them, but they are excited, happy and HUNRGY! Jordan immediately started looking for food and helping himself to whatever he could find.

Will write more later.........
