In two days we will be on our way to China. In some ways it seems hard to believe. Is it REALLY going to happen this time? It seems so! Everything is set. Travel approval in hand, consulate appointment confirmed, flights set. Bags (almost) packed. We are giddy with excitement. Four days from now, I will meet my youngest daughter!
How is it possible to have only known her photos for 6 months and to feel such immense love for her??!! And with that same love comes grief. Grief for what she is going to lose...her foster family, her language, her homeland. And yet, joy for what she is going to gain...a family who already cherishes her and a community who has been praying for her arrival.
And so, we are ready. Ready for what lies ahead. Ready to change our lives forever. Ready to bring sweet Mia home.
Oh Cindy, I'm so excited and happy for you. Looking forward to seeing update pictures and adventures!
