Random Musings

So I was thinking…(always a dangerous endeavor!) about our referral. We think we will get one in July or August if the current time frames hold. The babies are typically 5 months old when they are matched with an international family for adoption. (The Korean law states babies have to remain in country until they are 5 months old before they can be matched with an international couple waiting to adopt. This law was enacted in hopes of encouraging domestic adoption in Korea.)
So, if we are matched with a baby this summer, that means our daughter is already born, and she is one or two months old right now. I saw a two month old baby at Bible study last Monday, and my heart just melted because I realized someone else is loving my baby right now. That reality just hit me so hard. In fact, it was almost stunning. I just wish I could see her face, or know her birthday...anything. I know were getting closer, but right now it seems so far away.

O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness. (Isaiah 25:1)

  1. Thank you for stopping by our blog. I am sorry that I am just now commenting, I've stopped by but haven't said "hi" until now. I have been enjoying "meeting" your beautiful family (I too am a blog junky). I loved this post, though it broke my heart.

    The little girl who gets to call you mom will be blessed--you will do wonderful. It will be exciting to get to "meet" her too in the coming months.

    I look forward to getting to know you, and eventually meeting you at Metro East. AMY
