China Visas

This afternoon, our passports came back from JC Travel in San Francisco with our China visas. We have until Nov 18 2010 to travel to China. Things are starting to come together.... gifts have been purchased, NEW $100 dollar bills to cover the orphanage fee plus extras have been ordered through our bank, Selah's crib is ready, and now I just need to start packing our bags. I am more than ready for that TA. There are SO many people that have waited MUCH longer than us for the travel approval and I seriously have no idea how anyone can wait.... I was reminded the other day of how long we had to wait to go get Anna from Taiwan from the day we saw her picture.... SIX MONTHS.... that felt so long and I seriously have no idea how I was able to handle the wait!!!! Although it has only been a little over one month since I first saw Selah's face, I am still aching to go get her... I am praying we receive TA this week or next week! Anna points to Selah's crib daily and says "Let's go China"... she is ready, the boys are ready, I am ready... Aaron "might" be ready :)

I am OVER DUE :(

Happy 9 months since LID! I was in a very goofy mood and BEGGED my DH to take this picture of me.... Had I been expecting a tummy baby, I'd be officially OVER DUE. I think I have WAY too much time on my hands :) Gotta go tuck my kids in bed now.

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...

Another GREAT verse about God watching over our little ones....

Isaiah 49: 15-18 (Message) Can a mother forget the infant at her breast, walk away from the baby she bore? But even if mothers forget, I'd never forget you—never . Look, I've written your names on the backs of my hands. I have been thinking alot about the birthmothers of our children... This verse is not meant as a slam on the birthmothers of our children... it is meant for glorifying God in how much He knows every child by name and NEVER forgets them. My little brain cannot even comprehend how MUCH He loves each of us and how much He loves each of our children.... not only that, He loves each one of these precious birthmothers who will undoubtedly do the most difficult thing in their life sometime very soon. Lord, I pray for the birthmother of my child(ren) right now. Lord, you KNOW them. Touch them. How difficult their circumstances must be to try to "forget" the child they bore. I know that as a mother, I could never forget the children I bore and I k...
