Emotions….

This week has been so exciting!  I have gotten to follow the journey of several families that are in China RIGHT NOW to bring home their little ones!  Their children were in the same orphanage as MinLan and it is neat to see the pictures and hear their stories.

It also makes me so sad that we are not further along in the process and able to go scoop up our little girl.  The time it takes just comes close to breaking me many days….

I am so ready to hop on a plane and bring our sweet girl home.

It has been so neat to "meet" Sara who is adopting MinLan's crib mate, Leah.  Even though MinLan went to a foster home in November, I look forward to meeting this sweet family one day and re-introducing our girls!

Sara's post HERE is so heart breaking about the girls' orphanage and it makes me want to go bring home every sweet baby there.

If you look really closely at Sara's pictures…the one with all the faces of the babies on the wall….

Our sweet MinLan is the second picture from the left on the second row!!!!!  What a treasure to have this picture!!!  It's younger than any other pictures we have of her!

I also wanted to share Brooke's post with you.  She asked to meet our MinLan and took her a photo album from us but was unable to meet her. :-(  We are so grateful though to Brooke for taking our album and hope it makes it to MinLan.

Click HERE to read more about MinLan's orphanage and to see the beautiful faces of those children waiting on their forever families.  Many of these children have had agency fees and orphanage donations WAIVED or REDUCED!  This would be a huge blessing on the total cost of an adoption for families looking to bring a child into their family.

Please click over and meet these sweet families.  I know they would covet your prayers as they are still in China and finishing up all the necessary requirements to bring their little ones HOME!!!!  FOREVER!!!!!

Until our time comes, we continue to chip away at the mound of paperwork to bring our girl home.

We are coming sweet girl,
Mommy
