Seeing Our Angel Again

We went to the orphanage to wait for our Angel to arrive from camp. The camp was about 2 hours outside the city and the driver was stuck in bad traffic. We waited until about 3:15pm before they arrived. She was surprised to see us but very shy and wouldn't talk too much.

While we were waiting, we visited with the orphanage director and she shared some photo albums depicting the history of the orphanage. It is quite apparent the children are well-cared for. But I was struck by how sad their eyes were in all the photos. More affirmation that adopting our Angel is "the right thing to do."

We took her to get her passport photos - yes, although it seemed a bit premature, we took it as a positive sign! We also got a quick bite to eat. She started to open up and interact a bit. After our visit, we drove her back to camp. Saying "goodbye" was difficult but we were very hopeful that the next time we saw her she would officially be our daughter.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.... James 1:27
