Three days tell we leave!

Alot to do & very little time to get it done, it is going so fast that it is scary.
It is like you dream of this day coming up. Then it gets closer & you start to think am I doing the right thing. Then you think back & know how this all started. It didn't start a year ago, it started years ago before we ever had kids. We knew that we would be doing this. Now that it is all findly happening it is just a little scary. I don't know what it is like to never be able to have my own kids, but I do know what it is like to lose a baby not ready to be born yet. We have been thru alot but this is a very hard thing to go thru. (now I know what they say about adoption not being easy, & sometimes I think it is harder then having them yourself)
Lately people have been writing about scary things that are happening over there, & it makes you want to run over there & get her out of there as fast as you can. (but) To have to sit back & wait tell it is time & know that they could be doing these things to your baby is just driving me crazy. You know that if she was here she would not have these things happening to her.
Then you think again God gave you this baby & he knows what we can take & what we can not.
So putting my hopes in him I know that all will be OK, & in his time we will be holding her safe in our arms. ( safe in my arms is a song by Plumb) It you have not heard that song you should it will make you cry I know it always does to me.
She has him wrapped around her little finger. If he made a face she would try to do it also.
When we were told that we had to leave clothes for her I found this little outfit at least it looked little before we put it on her. So I can't wait to see her in it when we get back.
She was so tiny that you could not find her in it. You had to keep pushing it up so you could see her hand & her feet were half way down the leg. You could put both legs in one hole.
I hope these photos help you see that the babys over there are so cute, & no matter how bad things look there is a light at the end of the tunnel for God will take care of you & your little ones.

Michelle, she surely fills out that outfit now!! I think (not certain) that was one of the outfits she had on when we were there and got the pix of her). She is adorable and I can't wait until you get her home!!

Michele, she is so cute. I hope your husband doesn't keep you two apart. She may control his heart, but she also controls your heart. It will be a pleasure to see her home with the parents that love her enough to go half way around the world for her. May you be blessed with quiet times with her. -C
