Homecoming

Kirk and Heidi just returned with their 3 new kiddos. Their 3 biological kids and 3 adopted kids are all very close in age to our kids too! So watching this video of their Homecoming was very touching! I cried through most of it! I can't believe that we will get to post a video like that within the next 2 or 3 months! WOW! We also got the most beautiful pictures of the kids! It is the strangest feeling to have never met your kids. That when some of the other adopting families think about Adissu, Marta, and Esrael they remember the way they played with the other kids, their laughter, or the way they gave them kisses and hugs. WE remember the way they smile shyly in pictures and Marta's cute hairdo in the latest set of photographs. It is so strange for others to know them... while we just wait.
