I remember that same helpless feeling as a not yet full mama. It was really hard..Isaac was 22lbs. at 4 1/2 :( It killed me! He would eat EVERYTHING we'd bring, & we'd have to put the trash bins up when we'd get into the rooms cause he'd search them & would eat whatever food that had been left by other children. Your observations of their lack of closeness are right on..I remember seeing the children outside & not once did I ever see a little one being held close, always they were held by the armpits & like they were covered with yuckies :( Your children are gonna thrive,thrive,thrive in you love! You'll see the love pounds come on & their eyes will continue to come alive when they see you :) Isaac is such a blessing & I feel honored God gifted him to us :) I love what your sister wrote & it's so true! We serve an awesome God & I love the life & love lessons He taught our family through our little boy. I can tell your a very affectionate mama..God knew just what your little ones needed when He introuded them to your heart :) Praying for a great visit with your Gia!Hi, I'm Alysha -But you can call me Lyshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184471382337681497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768791170263888294.post-38035274673923103082010-04-18T05:47:09.206-07:002010-04-18T05:47:09.206-07:00These beautiful angels, I am so happy they have yo...These beautiful angels, I am so happy they have you, so happy they are going home to a place where they will be safe and happy, warm and fed and clean, and the world will open up to them...praying every day for the ones still waiting. :(heatherbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02456990754074308268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768791170263888294.post-5580720482419960092010-04-18T01:52:28.884-07:002010-04-18T01:52:28.884-07:00Heartbreaking - and yet, what a precious redemptio...Heartbreaking - and yet, what a precious redemption story!! This brought tears to my eyes, but they are tears of not only sadness for what these kids have been through - but also exceedingly great joy for what lies ahead!! It reminds me of what Rich Nathan taught on a few weeks ago, about the great generosity and love of our God, that is so far beyond our capability to understand. Similarly, these precious ones do not know the love that fills your whole being for them - and they cannot conceive the good things that you have in store for them!! Good things that, interestingly enough, come with scary trimmings: plane rides and new trips and sights and sounds. It just reminds me that we don't always see what God has in store for us on the other side of our "scary things" (or at least I don't!!). I am so glad we serve a God who is in the business of redemption and loving us and giving us amazingly good things. What you are going through now is such a beautiful picture of the Father's heart toward us!! Just know every time that you cuddle one of these special, sweet little ones that your love will wipe away so much of the neglect they've been through! I can already see through your words how much they are blossoming, and I cannot wait to hear how they do (and what they weigh!!) when they are long last settled at home! I am counting Sunday as the first day of the new week, which means - court THIS WEEK!! We continue to pray for each of you, and especially, our new nephew and nieces!! Cannot wait to hold them for myself!! Keep the pics coming as you are able; looking forward to hearing how they get on with Gia. In fact, I bet you're there RIGHT NOW!!!!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834180918581781729noreply@blogger.com
