Diary of an Adoption p.8 (by Amanda)

August 2

My favorite part at night when the girls are eating is just watching them in the quiet stillness. They kept me awake for most of the late night and early morning. Then later in the morning a little after three they began sleeping better and so did I. I have fears that somehow the paperwork won’t get signed to give us legal custody of the twins but I am going to continue to trust Him because I really feel that this is His doing. God has protected the girls so far against staggering odds and I know he will continue doing so. Thom was supposed to leave today to get the car and go back to Bamako but we felt it would be better for him to wait and leave tomorrow morning.

Hey, CONGRATULATIONS from Milt and Nancy on your new family!!
I think maybe yóu're making CMA history as the first to adopt African babies. That was always discouraged if not forbidden in the past. Your lives (as you're already discovered) will change a lot from now on. It's going to be a great experience. Take it from those who have been there many times. We're very happy for you and the twins. Have a great FF@!
Love.
Milt and nancy
