We had 2 at our breakfast table and 4 at our lunch table!
The meeting went really well. And yet it was very difficult. They have been with the same foster mother for 4 years and they are leaving their brother so they were understandably sad too. The agency strongly encouraged me to pursue adopting the brother as well. He is a complete gentleman and very handsome is what they kept telling me. We saw a picture and it about made me want to start to work on getting him as well! Don´t worry, I understand it´s not an impulse decision.
We did a lot of hugging and by the time they were in the car, they were loving their barbies and doing more talking. They are wonderful! We are enjoying getting to know each other and figuring out each others language. We are going to be heading to the mall soon. All of the pants seem to be wayy too long. Still not sure of exact sizes, but we´ll get there.
The courts are still striking, so keep praying. Colombia is wonderful so far, but all I´m hearing right now as I type is French and Spanish so more than four weeks would get tough.

I have been waiting all day for this! :-) Yipee! Thanks for the update. You 3 look so cute together - what a great picture! Glad you had safe travels and we'll continue to pray that the courts stop striking. Can't wait to see you home!

Hi Jeralyn, Angie and Judy,
I kept checking the blog today to see a picture of the three of you. It is hard to imagine how exciting this is for you. It was thrilling for me to see you all together finally. Prayers continue for the courts to open and for minimal time until you return home. Can't wait to meet the girls.
Love, Joyce H.
Wow what a great looking family! It sounds like you have a lot to talk about and this week will be so exciting for all of you. The girls are beautiful! Praying for all the details and praying for Carlos also. God has perfect plans
for all. Much love, can' wait to see more pictures and hear more. Love to all, Gail
Hi Jer,

I want to tell you that you am so proud of you for sticking through all the obstacles that have been thrown your way. What a blessing that has come out of this. I am continuing to pray for your strength and for your family. As for combining the sisters with their brother, that is a decision between you, God and the girls. Please know that you are loved and all those kids are loved too.
See you soon girl!!
