The Waiting
Only two more sleeps til we can bring you home! My precious daughter, this journey has been long and filled with so much waiting. We knew that when we began this adoption road in the fall of 2009, but we never thought it would be this hard once we arrived in Zambia. It was one thing to endure the wait at home before we knew you. But we loved you the moment we met you in the toddler room at HOM and it wasn’t long before we just knew you were our daughter.
Over the last two weeks, we have fallen in love with you more and more each day. Leaving you every afternoon has been the worst feeling ever. You are just devastated every time I have to put you back in your crib and just walk away…soon baby…very soon…then you’ll be ours forever!
You have the most beautiful big brown eyes I’ve ever seen and the cutest cheeks in the world…I can’t stop staring at the pictures I was finally able to take of you…it’s finally real!
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

This reminds me so much of our son’s adoption from Romania, 16 years ago now! He was 3 (and confined to a crib) when we met him in the orphanage. We had to wait six months for the adoption process after meeting him before I could go and bring him home (and another 10 days there while finalizing paperwork). Excruciating! He’s a fine young man now and a joy to all who know him, and I wish all the best for you.
