3 months waiting + The Hartsock family!!

Dearest Little One,
It is very busy around here right now...we are getting ready for Christmas. We got the tree all decorated and hung our stockings. The boys stockings are camo and we picked out a little red one just for you. You are in our thoughts daily and we can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, you might be here with us next Christmas. We are confident that we will at least know your face and that is so exciting to us. We love you so much baby girl!!!

We have been waiting 3 whole months today. I remember the excitement of the day we sent off our dossier and even better, the day we got our first set of numbers. I can't believe 3 months has already flown by.

Most days just go by like any other but every once in a while I have a kinda down day. I feel kinda low and my heart aches heavily for our little one. I talked to our case worker "B" about it and she said that it is completely normal to feel that way and is to be expected. She said it is just part of the process of preparing my heart to one day meet our little girl.

This whole adoption journey has been so amazing and to see God work around us is so awesome to watch. I have loved how he has placed people in our lives to walk this out with and it is such a blessing to have friends close by who understand exactly what we are going thru.

I love the school that my son attends for many reasons. One reason, is that there is many adoptive families. When Conner started Kindergarten this year, we were excited that one of the little boys of a family we know would be in his class. You gotta understand that he attends school 40 minutes away so we don't know that many people there.

Here they are together on the first day of school...


What I didn't know is that the Lord was going to bond our families together thru adoption. They are now in the paperwork process adopting from ETHIOPIA thru no other than ALL GOD'S CHILDREN!!!! Is that not the coolest thing ever!!

So, I would love for you to head over to their blog, introduce yourself, and welcome them to the adoption world. I know that "meeting" all of you has been such a blessing to me and I know it will be for them as well.
