So, I'm a bit flustered at my emotion this morning. I was just reading an animal book with Judson and he kept pointing to the pictures and saying, "baby, mommy, daddy" After a few pages of this I started to think about Emma. These animals get to snuggle with their mommy and daddy and Emma doesn't. That makes time seem more important, she needs us! God did not intend for babies to not have mommies and daddies.
Some people have asked why we would want to adopt when we already have 3 children. Well, its not really about us, or our 3 children, its about a little girl in an orphanage, who will go to bed right about now, with no stories, probably not many kisses, and awake in the morning to the same.
Maybe this will be the day we hear some news.

i totally get it. with all the waiting you've had to do, agreed, this stretch is the hardest. she is so in reach and yet it's so out of your hands. it feels like everyday is so precious (and it is). hang in there. once you meet her and she's *yours* it will all be in the rear view mirror. but oh, i know the agony. you're doing a great job.
So excited for you! You're almost there babe. Can't wait to see her in your arms. Love you!
