Today was the last day to see our girls. Left in tears. Even though we're still getting to know each other and not fully bonded, they are still my girls and it was hard to leave.
I gave the foster mom all the other stuff I didn't not give them, and she said she will give it to them gradually. and there is a "children's day" in June. Some of the clothes I didn't even include. The clothes they wore were of nicer quality than what I bought. Bulgarians dress nicely. And I just thought even though I think they'll love what I bought it would be more to bring back to the states.

They are sweet girls. I really believe everything is going to work out wonderfully.
The town they live in is so charming. I love all the sidewalk restaurants. and food is so good. You can sit outside and enjoy the clean air and cool breeze, warming sun. perfect weather. I have to go on a diet when return. (We don't have these things in walking distance from where we live! So, every place has its pluses and minuses)
Another thing Bulgaria has that we don't have, and this is very important...they have espresso machines and their quick markets. You can get a nice coffee, usually Lavazza brand, at all these places, or at little corner liquor store. So, if you're walking down the street you can pick these up at many places.

I got to meet with local social workers and they told me everything they know about girl's background. I'm so thankful they told me more information because I need to know what is in their minds and emotions from long ago that they may have to get over, or what may affect their behaviors. I'm thankful don't have a lot of nightmares and things of that nature, but they do remember things and it isn't positive. They are relatively well adjusted. I mean, of course we'll have issues but I am real encouraged
Tonight I'm going to ladies' bible study and Chris will hang out with Scot.
Tomorrow we do paperwork and sightsee in Bulgaria. Saturday we leave for home but overnight stay in Parris. I'm not proofing this, so sorry about typos.
Good visits with girls, couldn't have gone better. They feel loved, they are happy, we are happy too. Now just need to bring them home.
