We flew to Miami on Tuesday and arrived in Miami at 12:20 in the afternoon. We then sat in the office of refugee at the airport till they confirmed that the girls were on the plane. They landed at 6:30pm.
We then went to "His House" the shelter that would be housing the orphans till we could be granted custody of them. We were then told at 8pm that we should go back to our rooms as the kids would need to go through customs and this would take several hours so they would not allow us to see them that night. They said that at 10am the next morning they would allow us to visit with the kids while they processed the paperwork.
Around 10:30 we were taken to Widelene(the youngest), we keep asking when we could see Widline, as she was placed in one house and Widelene in another. As Widelene came there from customs at 10pm and Widline did not get there till 2am.
They would say they would bring her to us but then another hour would pass and no Widline.
Finally after about 3 hours of this I was about to go crazy! I told Steve if they do not have here to us within 30 minutes then I am going to call Holt. Steve seeing that the momma was not happy went looking for her by his self as we were not getting any answers. He found her and before he could get her down the road to me I met them half way. I was so happy to see her.
We did not get released to take them from the shelter till 3:00pm
We stopped quickly at Wal-mart thinking we would take them swimming in the pool, but was to cold. So we went to the group meeting with the other adoptive parents and then went out to eat.
The girls and I slept in bed together last night and we had to get them up at 4:30am to go to the airport to come home. So they were out at 7:30 tonight.
It has been a big day flying and seeing their brothers whom they attached to very quickly.
Life is good and so is God. It still seems like a dream that they are really here, we love them so much.
