Look at those lips!
Our first picture back together1Dear Friends and Family,'
Thank you so much for you love and undying support and prayers! We stormed the gates of heaven with our prayers! I have lots of pictures to put on here, including pictures from when we were detained. We had a friend with who made the situation much more funny. He gave the cops nicknames, etc. But, for today, we are traveling. We will be taking a US Embassy Escort to the airport this morning. We will travel all day and then go through US immigration, and then US Social Services, so you won't hear from me until tonight. We hope to be in Minnesota by late morning on Thursday.
Reese is doing fantastic! I wasn't sure how well he would receive me back since I left him in the tent. I did not go and visit because I didn't want him to think that I was someone who comes and goes in his life. Well, he hasn't let me go since I got him back. I held him until 11:00 when he fell asleep in my arms. Eventually I had to put him down because I was afraid that he would roll off the couch. He is a little dehydrated and has a small temp, but it doesn't seem to affect him.
Your love and support and Jesus got me through this terrible ordeal. THANK YOU for helping and partnering with me to bring Reese home and give him LIFE!
Safe travels! Can't wait to have you back!
ReplyDeleteI have tears of joy!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY GOD!!!
Adopted kids know who mom is right away. Becca wouldn't let anyone but me hold her when we went on a plane trip to my niece's wedding in California. Both kids fastened on JoAnn immediately. Oh, Reese knows who you are, no doubt! Praise God. It's also cool that Fergus is becoming more racially mixed too, so he won't feel like he sticks out so much as he grows up. God has prepared for Reese.
