That's as precise as I can get on the twins age today, considering we weren't present on the day of their birth to know the hours and seconds. Actually, I guess no one but their dear birth mom (and possibly father) will ever hold that information. While I grieve that the girls will never hear "I remember the day you were born....", I grieve even more for the loss their birth mother must feel. What were those months like carrying twins? Did she know there would be two? Did she have to be on bed rest? Would her job even permit that? How many weeks were they able to form in her womb? What was giving birth to them like for her? What happened in the hours after birth? So many questions that will probably never be answered. As I grieve another month of their lives passing without us being with them, I can only imagine what her heart must feel as the 16th of each month rolls around.
God has given us the sweetest gift of allowing us to send a package to the girls! It's so fun to be able to shop for them and love on them from afar. We covet your prayers for us and these little ones. Currently,we're waiting on their orphanage to complete and submit their paperwork to the civil affairs office. Please pray that God would put an urgency on the heart of the one responsible for the paperwork. Thanks so much!!!
praying!! love you
