Things to be grateful for

I got this email today from a woman, Yen, working at the orphanage.

Your kids are very lovely now, they are very friendly to everyone. When they went there, they were scared of any strangers, so they hid in the their room all time. Now everybody is their friends. I think they will cry a lots when you pick them up next month.  Your kids were Cotu, one of minority ethnics in Quangnam province but they just speak Vietnamese. David speaks Vietnamese fluently, Emma knows some. It will be great if David can follow a course of Vietnamese. Sweet!

You know it's so easy for me to complain about the delays. about the long wait.. about having to wait for others to catch up. And then i have to stop and think how INCREDIBLY LUCKY i am to have found all these amazing people who have met our kids. Who have shown them kindness. Who have been friends to them. Who were kind enough to take time and send us photos and videos which we desperately covet. All these little things makes the wait to be with our children that much more bearable. SO A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE, THOSE WHO I KNOW AND THOSE WHO I'LL NEVER GET TO MEET, for being a part of our children's lives.
