2 Years Ago Today

5 flights, 40 hours of travel, almost 3 days with no sleep, and eating only airplane food for 2 days had me walking in a daze.  In a small waiting room at the front of the babyhouse, a group of caretakers came in holding 2 toddlers and everyone stared at me.  I stared back not realizing that these were my daughters.  After a minute, I realized who they were just before they all continued into the Directors office.  I followed them in and they handed me Leeza to hold.  Sasha started crying so they took her away before I really even saw her.   After talking to the Dr sitting on a couch in the baby house bathroom for about 30 minutes, the director came in and asked me if I wanted to adopt the girls.  I said yes and she said Are you sure?  I said yes again and 2 1/2 months later, 2 little girls arrived in the US to their forever home.

I guess I should have some beautiful portrait photos of the girls in fancy dresses for this post, but really these picutres show them for the 2 little individuals they have become.  Sasha wants to dress herself and loves lots of color and Leeza just loves an audience.  Mama just loves them both.
