I think those old wives were on to something when they determined that a watched pot never boils. Seriously, no word yet. Nada. Zilch. And, evidently, checking my inbox 2,984 times yesterday did not make our TA arrive. My sweet friends Diana and Nicole did get their TAs yesterday. Still optimistic that we might hear something today. It would be… Read More
dreaming of Poppy
I’m finding myself dreaming of Poppy more and more, as we inch ever-so-slowly to bringing her home. Wondering about her little personality. What she really looks like. What she sounds like. What makes her sad. And what makes her smile. And dreaming of the time I feel the weight of her in my arms, at last. Please, oh please… TA… Read More
if a picture…
is worth a thousand words, then three pictures are worth three thousand words. And after getting these new pictures of Poppy, every one of those words is telling me, we need to get our girl home. Today marks 2 weeks since we received our Article 5. So TA could arrive any day now. Once TA arrives, we should travel in… Read More
number crazy
I am so not a numbers person. My husband does all the budgeting. And the bills. And the taxes. Not only do I not do well with numbers, I just really don’t like numbers. But a few numbers? I like. This morning, I got an email with just numbers in it. And I positively squealed. Updated measurements on my precious… Read More
closer
We have hit a major milestone. Our Article 5 was issued today. Which probably doesn’t mean a whole lot to most of y’all. But it’s a pretty big deal in the world of adoption. It’s the step right before TA, which happens right before you get your CA, which happens right before you buy your plane tickets, lose sleep from… Read More
when?
That’s the big question. At least, that’s the big question at this house. And right now, we really have no idea. As y’all probably know, this adoption has been, *ahem*… a bit unconventional. We started out sanely enough (“sane” being a relative term) in April of 2010. Determined to finish our dossier before ‘finding’ our child, we were LID on… Read More
the waiting…
is getting hard. So very hard. Can not wait to squeeze you, little one. And do absolutely, positively every thing in my power to put a smile on your beautiful face.
thank you
… Amanda. The blankets for Poppy and Esther are just beautiful. I will definitely be taking Poppy’s to China. And Esther’s? I’ll definitely be snuggling up with. Tonight. And to y’all who have prayed for us, lifted us up during this time, and reached out to us – by card, comment or FB post – thank you. I have read… Read More
eeeeeekkk!
I don’t know what else to say… WE GOT OUR LOAs! One GIANT step closer to our girls. For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like You, who works for those who wait for Him! Isaiah 64:4
goin’ big
Y’all are crazy. Before we launched So Loved, I had no idea how many tees to order. But eventually, we did have to decide… Do we play it safe? Or do we go big? With a knot in my stomach, but fully embracing the reality that we serve a mighty God, we went big. We ordered 300 So Loved tees…. Read More
