I had a dream last night that we were meeting our children in the Ukraine for the first time. In my dream I tried to communicate to them, thinking they didn't know any English. After about 30 minutes of bonding with them and trying to communicate one of the girls said something in English. I asked her if she knew English, and she smiled shyly and put her fingers together to show she knew a little. It made me want to see them so badly or at least hear from someone who has been to their orphanage.
I asked around and finally got some more information on our children. I know their names and location now! It's amazing how this little bit of information makes me feel closer to them. We've picked out names for 4 of them, but we weren't set on a name for the oldest. Now that I know her name, I think we will stick to a variant of that name - Hannah Renee. Her first name means Grace of God. She will take my middle name that means reborn. Hannah will both receive and give His Grace because she will know it so intimately. She is being reborn, as I pray God is readying her heart for her new family, for having a mom, for giving up her role as the mother, and allowing me to protect her and her siblings. I also pray that she will spiritually choose to be reborn I love them already, and I pray nothing stands in our way of giving them the life they deserve. Not that we can offer lots of super cute clothes, the newest toys, and so forth. But, we can offer them more - real love for their entire lives.

I think that what ever clothes you are going to provide they will find them so so great... because of all the love you are going to give them !
