Stahlke Adoption

I Can't Comprehend

Lately, I've been thinking about our five children. The last time they saw Mikola, he was about one year old. Assuming the adoption goes smoothly, he will be five and one-half years old when they see him again.

What are they thinking about all of this? How will they feel when he first walks off the airplane here in the U.S.? Even knowing them well as their mother, I haven't walked in their shoes to know what this means to them.

Since Wednesday, when we told the children that the dossier had been submitted, they have exhibited more behavioral issues than usual. No wonder.
