Unhappy This is why my heart is breaking........

This is the latest picture of Memo.. I just got it today. He was on the phone with us when this picture was taken. I sent him that picture book. It was full of pictures that I took when I was there in December.

This is killing me. All this boy wants is a family.
He even cried when he opened the stuff we sent down to him. I asked why? They said, "he just wants to go home to his family....You guys... He misses you so much."

How do you tell this face that the only thing stopping him from coming home is a signature????

Sorry.. Just wanted you to see why am struggling so much with this 19 month and 8 day wait....
Thanks for being such great friends... we truely appreciate you all.....

No wonder your heart is breaking! He is just wonderful!

I wish we could all do something to speed up your process--but at least, from our lips to God's ears! We're still praying for you guys!

Unhappy

Obviously there are no words for your pain. There has been so many spoken to you I would not know what to say in addition to it. If I could think of something unique at this point that would make you smile or even laugh or give you hope I would say them in a heart beat.
A smile on that boy so far away must break your heart and I will pray for that amount of pain to be lessend.
Jennifer

Oh Suzanne........

My heart is just breaking for you and for him. The picture is so beautiful, HE is so beautiful. I swear his smile could light the world. Why can't he tell the guy with the pen that he wants to go home. Maybe he would listen to this innocent beautiful child. I am just at a loss for words as usual when it comes to your struggle. So so so unfair.

I continue to pray for you all.

Lynn

I am so sorry for all you all are going thru. Stay strong for Memo. He is such an adorable little man. Your always in our prayers, and Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
