HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJI :)

August 23-


Our sweet  Benji is spending HIS LAST birthday without a family, in an orphanage as a statistic :( :( one of the forgotten/hidden away in his birth country.  Here at home many miles away, his new reality is waiting for him. We will celebrate big time once he is home in our arms :) We love you sweetie. 



We have so many things to be thankful for. We cant forget that.

Hugs!

So excited for (and jealous of:)you! Benji is one of the cutest kids I've ever met! He's smart, imaginative, active but cuddly, loving, and VERY lovable. Florida for next vacation, Mom? :)

I have been watching Benji for a long time. There was a picture of him that reminded me of my son. I think it was the blonde hair and the red shirt. He is so adorable. So glad this is his last birthday alone.

August 23 is a good day... my youngest was also born on that day!

Do you have your airfare yet? I know our appointments are on the same day,and I wonder if maybe we'll be flying out together. We leave from Chicago on the 25th at I think 5:30 or something like that. With Luftansa
