Update on Travel Plans and Some Thoughts


Plans have changed (pesky paperwork - it's common - no worries) and our new estimated travel dates are March 27th - April 5th! I am not freaking out or too disappointed with this delay but someones Daddy is about to come unglued....he can't wait to wrap his arms around a sweet little girl. Kenny is not a man of many words but I can tell, just tell, that he is more than ready to meet his daughter. Can't blame him.

One of the very first thoughts I had when meeting Ellie Tsion was "Oh my, she is going to love her Daddy, and he is going to be smitten with her". Over and over again when I would see her those four days, my mind would return to Kenny's relationship with her. I cannot wait to see the two of them together. I cannot wait to see how he softens and melts right before my very eyes as this precious, perfect little girl grabs a hold of his finger and smiles with her mouth and big, big eyes.

I have been blessed by an amazing father and know what a gift it is for a daughter to grow up with a father like him. A father sets the stage in so many ways for his daughter's life. I have no doubt Kenny will give that same gift my father gave me to Ellie Tsion. To say "I can't wait to see it all unfold" is an understatement.

AWW So Sweet! And yes those girls get their Daddy's hearts right away! I have to say that I am so very happy for you both! As an adoptee myself, it always warms my heart to hear of someone else passing along the wonderful gift of being a parent! I hope to pass it along and adopt myself at some point, even though I was totally blessed to have 2 precious little ones myself. I hope you enjoy every moment and I can't wait to see/hear all about it on here! CONGRATS!

Anna,

Okay, your comment was JUST what I needed today! How did I not remember this about you? I always love to hear adult-adoptees tell me of their positive experiences - it's such an encouragement! Thank you!

There is something special about a little girl and her Daddy...I see it in my own house. Melting hearts everywhere. I am so happy for all of you!
