You are in my heart and a part of my soul. I pray for and dream of you daily. That when your time comes, you will be strong, healthy, cared for and loved. I dream of your jet black hair and those almond eyes that I love so much. I dream of your province, think of the difficult decisions that your birth parents must make and the promise in my heart to love you forever. I dream of you running through the rooms of our home and tucking you in your bed at night.......I'm designing a room just for you. A room where all your dreams can come true.
This journey for you is long. But I will wait for you. I'll wait until I can bring you home. You have 2 big sisters and a big brother...... waiting to take you under their wing's and reassure you of love and happiness. To take away your hurt and fear and to give you nothing but smiles and laughter. Your Daddy is waiting to play with you and to offer you all of his love and protection. Your Forever Family is here, my love...... waiting and dreaming.....and we will do so, no matter how long it takes to bring you home.

Oh Steffie,
That is such a beautiful post! I have tears just flowing!
You have such a precious heart and your children are so very blessed to call you Mommy! I will pray for the wait to be not so long and that the time will be fleeting as you wait to bring home another beautiful China doll!

I love this post. I, too, am dreaming and praying for my next daughter. We will have to lean on each other and encourage each other this year as we wait for our precious daughter's. I hope the time will fly and you and I can be chatting on the plane on our way to China to get our girls.

Another special post, my friend. I understand the pain of "waiting". Hug your kiddos extra tight this weekend.
PS. I'm seriously a sleep deprieved and LOA obsessed woman now.
Great post. Happy 9 months!!
Happy 9 months! I wish things were different, I wish we all had our children home with us so this wait wouldn't be so hard.
I love that. It's just beautiful. Congratulations on 9 months. I'm so glad that you are here.
Regarding my e-mail. There was a little crisis, but it all worked itself out ok.

Trying hard to be a happy camper.

I thank God that your precious daughter has such a loving, beautiful family who loves her completely, is praying for her and will do whatever it takes to bring her safely home in the arms of her loving family.... including what can be the most difficult of all... waiting...
God's speed
Steffie, your words were so beautiful. They say all good things come to those that wait, but I am so sorry you are having to wait so long. You are so patient, because I know I would be going nuts by now, that is probably why God knows it is not our time yet to start over. I look forward to following along on your journey and prayers will be sent your way each night for your sweet angel.
P.S. Christmas card was a classic, Thanks.
Hey girl... happy 9 months to you too. Did it sting for you this time? Something about that batch of referrals really made my heart sink. Tough this time. I still have faith it will speed up after the 08 Olympics, but sometimes it's like I'm holding my breath and for the life of me can't see to come up for air from all the waiting :O) But I won't give up.
I love this post. It gave me these wonderful visuals of hope. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
XO to you :O)
This was so touching. Praying that God moves the hands of the Chinese government so that things start moving for everyone.
9 months closer to your dream.
Me, I'm just waiting to use the restroom.
Happy 9 months...
Your daughter dreams of you too...
Dear Kelly Boyd:
There's comp on the street for Mr. B.
My A2. And she is gorgeous and dare I say a refined charmer. I see trouble ahead. You better change your nightcream to one that tightens and pulls, while I use my bust enhancer. This town ain't big enough for the four of us.
Oh Steffie..
That is beautiful!
Kim
Happy 9th! You'd better keep that letter for her, it was so sweet!
You tell em girlfriend.
BTW Crazy Chick claims the girlfriend is loaded(rich not drunk).Also is now a model for Ralph Lauren.So I am thinking those two do not stand a chance.
And you are DUTCH too yet.
Her next show she is planning Dynasty so be prepared.I have sugested Andy Griffith.I want to be Barney or Otis.If I get the part of Barney will you be Thema Lou???
I think Crazy Lady could be Aunt Bea.
Beautiful ... how blessed we are to have the pleasure of joining you on this most amazing journey!
Mr. Brian you are sweet but slow
I said your girlfriend Kelly Boyd from CHEERS is rich and models for Ralph Lauren (aka Jackie Swanson)
This new A2 you don't know yet....
Okay, if you had it in your goal to make me cry today...mission accomplished.
Here's to one less month in the wait for your dream.
So sweet. The waiting is HARD. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank g-d the first 9 months are out of the way!
happy 9 plus months!! may the wait to your next little one be short!!
