We just came home from a meet up with other families adopting through the Lighthouse Program. It was very productive. It is great to see people at different places in the process. I got a lot of information that will help so much in bringing our girls home!
I really enjoyed it. The kids were so wild though. They had been in the car since noon. Sarah and Susha had gone with us on the trip to Missouri. It was the first time this week I was truly overwhelmed. I thing when the girls come home, we will plan on staying home for the first few months and work on some manners. Susha did great at church and does fine here, but in other peoples homes she seems to have issues. It is too much distraction.
When it was time to go, I said, "say goodbye" and she thought I was saying goodbye and got a terrified look on her face. After I started leaving with her and she understood, things were fine. She changed in the car and was her normal pleasant self again. It was interesting. I think she just needs some security. I am very worried about how she will be when we have to put her on a plane. I hope she does not hate us and think we have abandoned her for these next several months. I am dreading Sunday.......
I really could use some prayers in that area, that she will understand that this is only a short time and that I will understand that as well.
