pregnant for 2 years

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of when we got our LID (log in date) to China. Just think, on the other side of the world on someone's desk lies our folder with our hearts in it! Pictures of a waiting family.....a hopeful momma who is ready to do it all over again no matter how OLD she gets, a fun dad who will provide her with more Disney trips than most people will ever take, a big sister who insists on the crib going in her room, and two brothers who will protect her from mean and nice boys!

When we started this process the wait was 18 months. Kinda long, but hey, we have three kids to keep us busy. I remember thinking after reports surfaced about the wait lengthening, that I would just have to almost forget about it so it wouldn't torture me. I mean, think about it....it's like being pregnant for all this time!

But I trust completely. God is in control. He knew this wait would come and He still called us to China. We see other friends getting precious little ones from Ethiopia and other countries and wonder why didn't we choose that country. We'd already have our baby by now! But we didn't choose Hope, or China. God chose them for us. So we will wait.

One day, little Hope, we will come for you!!! Oh happy day!
