to China for Clementine – my favorites: the Great Wall

(continuing on with posting my favorites from China – you can see the first post here.)

It was six months ago, yesterday, that we were standing right here.

In fact, it was on the Great Wall that we got a phone call with the news that Clementine would be well enough for us to meet her the next day.

It was completely surreal.

Turned out she would not be able to meet us the next day, due to her needing an extra day in the hospital to complete her course of treatment, but on this day, we didn’t know.

And I’m actually really glad we didn’t.

We were on top of the Great Wall, filled with hope and excitement.

We didn’t need to know what we didn’t know.

Because He knew.

We would have to wait one more day to meet our girl…

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
