Dear Sweet Child of Ours,
You are worth every second of this wait. We’ve have been on the wait-list with All God’s Children International for officially 1 year today. The time has flown by and yet slithered by so slowly.
When we entered this process on Mother’s Day in 2012, we knew the wait would be long. We knew the journey would be wonderful and yet difficult, but we had no idea how difficult this wait would be. There is not a day that we don’t think about you and your birth mom. We pray for health for your birth mom as she prepares to carry you. We pray for health for you and your mom throughout the pregnancy, birth, and infancy.
We think about you so much. We wonder what you will look like. Will you be a boy or a girl or even siblings? We wonder what your personality will be like and what your interests will be. We can’t wait to love you for exactly who God is making you to be.
There are so many people here that are anxiously awaiting your arrival. You have two wonderful sets of grandparents that love you so much already. Your cousins can’t wait to play with you! You have 3 cousins right now: Kayla, Zach, and Jayden. Your aunts and uncles can’t wait to hold you and spend time with you. There are so many friends that ask about you often. They wonder when we can expect your arrival. Our answer is usually the same: we have no idea, but we can’t wait to meet you! There are also two little puppies, Sophie and Lola, that will love to meet you and give you kisses. They are such gentle and loving pups. You will grow to love them, I’m sure.
Whether this is our last full year of waiting, or if we have to wait one, two or three more, we want you to know that we have prayed for you since before we were married, we have prayed for you since the day we started our journey will All God’s Children International, and we will continue to pray for you until you are in our arms, as well as when we enter the journey of parenthood. You are a blessing. You are worth every second of this wait.
We love you.
Until we meet,
Mommy and Daddy
So sweet - you're always in our prayers too!
