Ramblings while I wait...

Dear Sweet Girl,

I am so ready to hear the news from your country. I am praying that it is good news. I have picked some special things to send to you if we get approval. I can't wait to send you a big box of goodies. There are a few outfits and dresses and even cozy pajamas! I have some pretty ribbons and bows for your beautiful hair. I picked a little pearl bracelet with a small silver cross. I have multiple pairs of shoes to choose from - some in each size so that we will have something that is sure to fit your darling little feet. I have a few art books and even "Goodnight Moon" in Spanish. I found a Dora backpack that you can put your art supplies in. I bought a pink stroller to bring when we come for our trip to meet you and make you our daughter forever. However, you might be a big girl now - too big for your stroller or the carrier I bought to hold you with! I am looking for the perfect pair of earrings for your already-pierced ears. I am glad someone else got the job of putting those holes in your ears...putting you through the pain would have been too much for me to handle. Your big brother is so thrilled with the idea that we might get news soon. I have warned him that we don't know what that news will be. I have asked him, as well as ALL of our friends, to pray for you and your team in country. We are asking for God's favor in this matter. You are so precious. God has HUGE plans for you. I can tell that He has a beautiful life planned. All we can do is be patient and wait - for His plans a perfect.

Love,

Mommy
