The Day I KNEW....

Today marks the anniversary of the day that I KNEW we were meant to adopt from China.   I was visiting my cousins sons orphanage.  While getting the tour, my heart melted many times.  I truly can't explain it...i just KNEW.  What strikes me about this day is that I was in the same building as our SON.  How crazy is that?  Rather surreal to say the least.  I wish I could have taken him home a whole year ago...but God has HIS plans.  I do believe HIS plans are always better than ours.  I am trusting that everything happened for a reason.
Anyhow, I came home from China & told Mike all of this.  We started praying about the possibility of adding to our family through China adoption.  Just three weeks later he came to me and said he was ready  & we started the adoption process.  What a whirlwind it's been!  Here we are...on day 88 of our LOA wait  (60-90 is the average wait time currently) .  There is nothing new to report other than we are just very ready to get the paperwork moving again.  We are missing our boy!  I truly miss him even though we have never met.  We pray for him daily & daydream of him constantly.

 
 Please keep us in your prayers as we are waiting.
