"Kisses In the Wind"

I came across this sweet poem a few weeks ago, and it brought tears to my eyes as I thought out our future child who is probably in an orphanage somewhere in Tver, Russia.

KISSES IN THE WIND

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

As far as updates...we have no new news this week. However, our Russia coordinator from CHI called last week to check in (Michael got really excited at first until she quickly told him she had nothing new.) She said she had no real updates but that she is also not aware of anything slowing things down right now in Tver. At least she did not have any bad news! We're still waiting and hoping that we might hear something in the near future!
