I almost cried leaving Lesotho. I really love it there. We had our adoption ceremony at Beautiful Gate, which was more special and precious than I could have ever imagined.
My sweet Rosebud is home sick and is a bit needy of her mommy, but of course! She is going through so much change.
Our little M, who was described as quiet and serious, has become a noisy squeaking giggle box. I cannot believe I blessed to participate in his life.
I had planned on updating my blog more frequently, but I had not counted on two things. 1. Spotty Internet service. 2. My own exhaustion.
I know some of my friends that read this blog are still waiting to be matched. Please find the strength to continue. Seeing those beautiful faces....a home of 70 children (plus). May The Lord strengthen you and help preserve you or the long journey!
I was able to meet with some of the government representatives in Lesotho, and I believe they do have a heart for their orphaned children.
Please continue to lift us in prayer. For sustained health. For our meetings with the embassy here in Johannesburg. For my little Rosebud and M to continue to bond and for us to arrive safely home next week!
Tara,
ReplyDeleteWe have adopted from Ethiopia and Rwanda and I am interested in the Lesotho program. I am wondering if you completed your adoption with Small World and if so what was your experience? Some of the in-country things that you went through (changes in process) are very familiar to us from our experience in Rwanda. You can email me at kneubauerpotthoff@gmail.com
