A friend sent us this picture from Life Song and it was such an encouragement to us!
We have been receiving updates about our son in Korea with pictures we can't wait to share with you someday!
And there's a feeling we carry that just can't be explained to those who are not going through this ... I've heard that said by other adoptive parents, but never fully realized it until experiencing it for ourselves...
We love him like he is our own son, yet he is so far away! We hold pictures of him yet we've never held his hands... we missed his first word... his first time pulling up to stand... his first birthday... his first everything! And we've never missed any of our baby's firsts!
The love we have for him isn't sympathy; it isn't pity; it is a genuine compassionate deep love to be this child's mom and dad. His brothers and sisters are looking forward to paling around with him... to take him on their many adventures... to laugh with him! To live life with him... We have such a desire to call him our own!
So we wait expectantly; praying for this little soul ... this sweet little guy ... praying that he will soon be united with our family and we can share with him all the love that we share right now around our dinner table and in our home doing life together!
Thank you for praying with us!
