Fiona shared these photos Shannon had just sent her, and I had a complete melt down. Benaldo just looks like he needs me as much as I need him. 37 days until I get to hold them didn't seem so bad yesterday, but today 36 days feels like a life time from now. Then we found out that Benaldo's birth mother is not willing to go to her DHS appointment now. I try to looked at it from her side because I have never had a child, nor had to give up a child, so I have no idea how painful that must be. We just pray that God will soften her heart and change her mind. Gail is hopeful that if she does not change her mind, 3As will be able to consider him abandoned and proceed from that point. Today I hate adoption. In 36 days I will not even remember this day

Oh Holly, how frustrating!!!! I will be praying the same!
Look at it this way...I have no idea when I will get to see my children again. I'd give anything for 36days!
hang in there!
today benaldo got his hair cut and spent his first full day downstairs! today bryce nearly bowled me over about 8 times. (he got his hair cut tuesday.) today benaldo gave me a wonderful smile and wave when i was leaving. today bryce blew me kisses when i walked out of the room.
i just thought i'd let you know, they're okay. they had a good day today. we're waiting for you!
God is good and has a plan! Rob and I will be praying for you!
I understand. I met my twin's birth father last week and Haiti and I just have a bad feeling. Hope your trip goes great.

Prayed for you today, Holly! I know what it's like having a birth mom that doesn't want to cooperate, but I also know that God has a way of making the impossible, possible.
What a big boy Benaldo is now!! Moving downstairs! Wow!!
Oh that picture has so many emotions attached to it. I will be praying that everything works out with the DHS appt. I know how frustrating that is. We lost Belle's mom and couldn't find her for the appt. but God provided and she was found in a miraculous way. He is your boy and he will come home and be in your arms!!!
Holly I will be praying for you. I know how hard it is having your babies be so far away. But what a blessing it is that you will be with them soon. There are so many unknowns in adoption...for us at least. But we can rest knowing that nothing is unknown to God.
