Kisses in the Wind~

This past weekend I was talking to Kami about our adoption and how things were going.  We both realized that our girls will probably be about the same age when ours joins our family.  You see, we have about 1 and 1/2 years, they say, before we bring our little girl home.  She will probably be about 2 years old at that time...which is how old Addison will be!  We are praying for this to be true, as it will be so good for our little girl to have a friend her age right next door ;)

The next day, I was looking at several other blogs, and came across this poem/prayer.  I thought it was perfect, as our daughter is probably already born~

KISSES IN THE WIND

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Log-in Date~

I got an email from Tiffany stating our dossier was sent to China on July 5, 2012.  It was off to Beijing to be submitted to CCCWA and to expect a log-in date in 3-4 weeks.  Our official log-in date with CCCWA was July 19, 2012!!  We are now in the database...what a huge relief, as we have been waiting for this date to come since September of last year ;)

Here are the packets of our dossier went sent over to China~

Also, with this being done, we found out the wait for a healthy baby girl is now 6 years.  So we have considered a special needs child.  With much thought and discussion with Michelle, we decided on a little girl with a hole in her heart~ either a VSD or ASD.  So, we will wait....impatiently....
