A poem & feelings from my heart
I decided to write a little poem about adoption, of course adoption is always on my mind and I always have plenty to say about it, I love it with all my heart!
We have you!
We longed for you to join our family
even before you surprised us all.
We tried with all our might to create an angel
just like you, but God knew that you were
meant to be in our family.
Adoption is a roller coaster ride
but we hopped on knowing you
were worth the ride.
And even though the voyage had
many ups, downs and loops de-loops
the pure joy of holding you was all worth it
when we became your parents.
How difficult it was to embrace the idea of
Becoming parents when we can't control when
and need the help of our friends.
This is why you are a miracle,
God blessed Us with you.
We hoped for a family
We longed for you
We rode the ride
And know we have you!

A couple in our ward just brought home their third baby, all adopted! I am so happy for them, yet it feels bitter sweet. Is it bad to say "I wish that was me holding the new precious baby?" Our family is sooooooo ready for another member and we pray every day to be choosen by a birthmother. My heart is feeling quite heavy lately because I know that someone is missing from our family. Yet, I really don't have any control on when or how. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and please keep Lilly's birthmother and our future birthparents in your prayers as well. Also, we have lots of pass along cards still so if you need some please comment, or e-mail me and I will gladly send you some.
We have you!

I really liked your poem. Adoption is an incredible miracle, and it's totally hard, but having our children is so worth it. I so know how you feel!!! It's so hard not having control over the timing of something that means so much. It seems like that's a lesson I keep having to learn over and over again. Chris and I can't accept a placement until our dossier is sent to China, so if we hear of any potential situations we will pass on your profile and info. Hang in there!
