Bringing Home BABY......

Following my heart.....across the ocean......to bring home a child. The story, struggle, quest, and crazy perserverance. I started, I continue, and I will not give up!!!!!!
Adopting one child won't change the world;
but for that child, the world will change

a little peace


a little peaceposted on 09/27/2007
Okay...so today I secured some money for the adoption.....just in case I need it. This helps me feel a little more secure in the process. I can now relax a little bit about the cost of everything. I also received the good news that the state of Mississippi now has an adoption credit of $2500. which will help some too!!!
I am going shopping this weekend with Parker and Ally and we are going to get a few things for them and for the baby. They are excited because they each get to take a friend and we are staying at a nice hotel. I am going to put Ally's dresser in the baby's room ( it is somewhat sentimental) and get Ally a big girl dresser. I cannot wait to get the baby's room together. I have some painting to do!! I hope it not cheesy.
My family is so sweet about everything and my friends ask daily about my progress. I am getting more and more excited. I have been researching this heavily for around 4 years and decided to do it some 1o years ago....so it is hard not to get excited at this point!
I just can't wait to see her and hold her for the first time. I am going in to this knowing that anything can happen and expecting that things might now be perfect, but that what is meant to be will work out for the best. I know that the age is not as important to me as I thought before. I would love a todder just as much and they are just as special.
maybe I will go back and get a little older child next time!!!!!!! I know that tha is crazy to say. It is hard not to want to reach out to all of the orpans when you have love to give!!!!
May God be with all of the lonely and abandoned children in this world and lay his comforting hand on their back while they sleep tonight. I hope that my baby girl is warm and fed. I hope she is satisfied and comfortable. It is the weirded sensation to think that your daughter is probably out there somewhere just waiting on someone to love her wholly and unconditionally. breathing, and crying when she is wet or hungry. I want to comfort for her!

This picture shows peace and hope, which is what I feel. It was taken in a beautiful Roman ruins in Morocco last year and it was a very moving and mesmerizing place. I felt more centered and alive after visiting that place.
