~Unexpected Delivery~

We had a birthday cake delivered to our little Caroline for her birthday, not knowing if she would receive it or not.  Yesterday, however, I received an awesome surprise!  SIX pictures of my girl eating her birthday cake!  SIX new pictures on her SIXTH birthday! 


And you know it's the most unusual thing.... I feel as though I know her, like I've known her forever.  She's familiar to me,  something about her face....her hands....


Oh, and I want to share them with everyone!!!  (But I can't.... not yet because of confidentiality agreements.)
But here's a peek at her cake..... 



See her hand? Eeeeheheheeee!

They even have COKE!!!

 She's missing her top two front teeth, and her hair has been cut off... which was a bit of a clue (it's so cute, though!  Very black and shiny!).  We knew she had been living with a foster family for some time now, but sometimes the children are sent back to the orphanage while they wait to be adopted.  And most of the children in the orphanage have short hair, I assume for easier up-keep.  Sure enough, when I inquired further, she has been moved back to the orphanage.  I don't know how I feel about this.  I'm excited because this means IT'S REALLY HAPPENING!  I'm sad because I hate the thought of taking her away from the only family she has known...


We're coming Caroline!!!  Hold on, and be safe!  I will travel the world for you!
