Change of Plans

Hi all,
 
The last few weeks have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster (obviously) and it seems that we've come to an unexpected dip.  Most of you know that I (C) was planning to stay out here until we could bring the babies home with us. We were both very keen that I would stay and get to know the babies, cuddle them as much as possible and make sure they were okay.  However, it seems that this isn't going to happen. I would really like to stay, but the orphanage director has told us that it won't be possible, and I will have to go home next week with John.
 
This makes us incredibly sad.
 
We are very encouraged by the fact that the babies have started to put on weight, but it is heartbreaking to think of leaving them and being unable to see them every day, and not to know whether they are continuing to do well. I'm sure you can all understand that nobody wants to leave their children on the other side of the world!
 
In the next few days, we need to change flight plans and see as much of them as possible. We know that their nannies are taking good care of them, but we really don't want to say goodbye.
 
Lots of love
