And so now we wait...... Right now I'm waiting on my birth certificate to come back from the Secretary of State's office in Missouri; our blood work results to come back so I can pick up our medical forms; a few documents to come back from Lori and that's it. Besides applying for the I-800 and then getting our documents certified and authenticated we're D O N E!~!~!~!
Once Lori has completed our home study we could see our daughter's face at any moment:-) How exciting is that!!!!! After all this time we are literally within months or possibly weeks of knowing who Desi is. I wish I could say that I've forgotten all that we've gone through to get to this point but I couldn't say it with a straight face:-( Maybe when she's in my arms for the first time those hurtful memories will fade away. I'm praying that God will wash them away with the tears I'm sure will be freely flowing the moment I wrap my arms around her.
It's not long now baby girl. We are praying that God comforts you until we make our way to China to bring you home.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI KNOW that all the pain and tears will fade the moment you see Desi's sweet face for the first time. When I saw Jake for the first time, even before he was referred to us, the pain changed to Joy and an ache for this child like I had never known. I knew he was what we were waiting for and I could not breathe until we got our e-mail from Holly and Trena.
GOD will be smiling the moment you see her face that first time.
Mary, I want you to know that I am a reader. And, you are in my prayers. I believe Desi will be worth every minute of all of this and God has been leading you straight to her this entire time.
