Its Christmas Eve and its wonderful to be home at the farm, spending time with family and relaxing, but there's a big piece missing this year. Ever since I saw Hope back in April, she's taken a piece of my heart. Now that we've been matched as Hope's family its a million times worse. A part of our family is half way around the world and it hurts. It hurts to know she's ours and we couldn't get on a plane and bring her home 3 months ago. I just want her to know what my arms feel like. I want her to know what its like to go to the farm to celebrate Christmas, to see Grandma J's Christmas lights, to meet Great Grandpa Roling tonight. I want you home.
I found the most beautiful song "Merry Christmas" by Third Day that writes about waiting for your child from China over Christmas. I HAD to make a slideshow of special photos with that song. Get your kleenex ready...
This will be your last Christmas without us baby girl. Merry Christmas, Hope!
We are about a month away from getting our paperwork to China, also known as Dossier to China. This is a HUGE step in the right direction. We are anticipating travel in summer of 2012 to bring Hope home forever.
