Almost 2 Months Ago – Ya Tibya Lo Bloo

How appropriate for the ticker at the top to be a little slow-moving turtle! Close to two months ago we met Blake in the Artyem baby home. We feel like our wheels are spinning faster than we could have ever imagined and yet we are getting nowhere. To be fair to the process things are going according to plan, but unfortunately it is not OUR plan. Justin and I miss Blake more than we ever dreamed possible. We are so relieved that we feel such a strong connection to him and that we know he is the missing member of our family. It is harder than many can imagine having a part of your heart left halfway across the world. Today I wanted to share with you a song that we heard while we were at the Vlad Inn. Here is a little background information.

Wednesday night of our stay in Vlad all of the adoptive families got an invitation to attend a gathering in the White Rabbit room. A man by the name of John Simmons graciously hosted the evening and shared with us his family’s amazing adoptive story. You can see pictures and hear more on their website – White Knight Publishing. They have published a book called the Marvelous Journey Home about a little girl adopted from Russia. In addition they produced and published a song entitled “Ya Tibya Lo Bloo” which translates to I Love You in English. John gave me permission to share this song on the blog (and I finally figured out how to upload it to Blogger). Listen and enjoy.



Blake,
We can't wait for your marvelous journey home.
Ya Tiby Lo Bloo,
MaMa and PaPa
