Due to the requests of the staff and privacy of the children still awaiting families, we are not allowed to show pictures of the other children at the orphanage. Some of the children are not available and the Philippines does not honor unsolicited requests of specific children in homes.
First moments when we arrived. Criselda broke down in tears as soon as she saw Karl and I. Christine was shy but preferred Karl.
Signing the official forms as Rohoboth to have custody of the girls.
Our first photo together as as a new family.
Karl and I hanging out as the girls took pictures all over the place. The spot right outside the school room also had the best connection signal so I could keep Crista and Mary up to date while they had Anton and Isabella. We just let Criselda and Christine have their time to start their mental separation with their friends as we prepared to leave the next day for Manila.
