Friends at the orphanage

I got an update on the boys today from a mom who was there last week. She listed our 2 along with 3 other little boys who are all about A's age. They were all in their bunk beds 'napping', but totally not sleeping. I love that the boys have friends who are like brothers to them. I'm praying that we pass court on May 4 for many reasons, but one of which is because I want all those little boys to leave the orphanage at the same time. I don't want them to have to experience the loss of their friends before we can be there with them. I'm glad K and A have each other, but I'm sure their friends are just as important to them. Hopefully we can all stay in touch once we get back to the US- we're spread out across the country, but that would be so great to watch them all grow up 'together'. We won't have baby pictures of them, but we will have pictures of them together with the kids who truly mattered to them for those months when they lived together at the orphanage.

I was thinking the other night about the boys while I was calming Jonah down before bed. He was scared, thinking of a movie he had seen that day that scared him ("Planet 51" for those who think I might've given in to his desire to watch Star Wars- not going to happen for a long time!:)). I was praying for him and then started to pray for K and A- who calms their fears at night? Who tucks them lovingly into bed at night? who do they run to if they get hurt? I know the nannies are great, but they're no substitution for a mom! I pray for God to wrap His arms around them, especially at night. To love them in a more tangible way than I can right now. He is there always when I can't be. He is watching them closely and healing their hearts as we pray from afar. I love my boys so much already and want to be there for them SOON! 1 more week until our court date- waiting somewhat patiently actually. I think it helped that it was 3 weeks away when I found out about it- I knew I had time to not stress about it.:)
I think that's all... many topics tonight:).
