I just looked at my ticker towards the bottom right of my page and realized that today marks 14 months exactly since we started this adoption. And where has the time gone?; I am not quite sure. We seem so far from the day we turned in that first application. I have to remind myself [...]

March 24, 2008 – Happy 4 months!
Today our little girl is four months old. I don’t really know what that means as I have no other children, but I am sure she is growing strong. I can’t be there to celebrate these milestones, but I can be there in thought and heart.
Happy 4 months baby girl!

Adopting one child won’t change the world;
but for that one child, the world will change.

March 15, 2008 – to my chubby bunny
If you could see the cheeks on our little girl you could imagine how adorable this little shirt will look on her. Although I may never see her wearing this outfit, I can imagine how precious she will be.
We are sending over a few clothing items with someone who ’should’ be traveling very soon. Although [...]

March 12, 2008 – Kisses in the wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that’s how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are… what’s taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let [...]

March 8, 2008 – For Elizabeth
It has been an overwhelming couple of days to say the least. I can’t explain what it is like to actually get the call about your referral and the roller coaster of emotions that follow that moment. I have waited years for that moment and it is still somewhat sureal to me.
I have to tell [...]

Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy;
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of
Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine
eyes of mercy toward us. And after this, our
exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of [...]

March 4, 2008 – THE call.
So here is how our story goes:
All weekend long while on vacation I kept telling Erik that I just KNEW I was getting our referral for my birthday. I didn’t have proof, I just knew it. I hadn’t even checked my phone much the whole month of February because I told myself I was getting [...]

March 3, 2008 – A little blue box and the magic candle
March 3 was my birthday… one that I had been feeling a little apprehensive about. This was the day I left my 20’s and became 30.
I do have a few wrinkles on my forehead (I call them my angry marks), I can no longer eat cookies and candy and chips with cheese without paying [...]
