Second Visit

We had the opportunity to host T again. She returned last Wednesday after a two and a half week stay. I wanted to give her a chance to visit with Karina and us. She had shown some remorse when we left Ukraine with Karina earlier this year.

She had a great time with Karina and even bonded just a little with me. She has always been very close to the boys, but not with June or me. This visit she did express a desire to be part of the family, but not enough to totally convince me. She left some things here for us to keep until she returns, and she told others that she was coming back in a few months. Karina said she cried the night before she left, but showed no emotion at the airport the next morning. The whole visit was just a bit stressful.

It is a big decision to turn around and go back to Ukraine. We have discussed it and will have to do just that. T is very immature and she may very well change her mind again. I would love to have T as my daughter. If she doesn't want that, we will bring home another child.
Simple as that.... Right?......Yikes... Where's the Pepto?
