My dear sweet boy.......
I have waited to see your face for 45 months. From the moment I was standing in China, in April of 2005, I knew that in my heart I would see the face of another. The time I found out I was pregnant, was the time you were being born. I am so sorry my sweet love that you have had to wait for me for so long. I have cried many tears over you and have longed to fill your room with you. I do not know your journey, I do not know your pain.....but I pray that you will feel my love from the moment our eyes meet. I will embrace all of your sorrow and will look forward to seeing your joy. I will hold you through your grief and I will praise you for all your accomplishments. Hold on a little while longer sweet boy.....just a little while longer. I'm coming......I am coming to bring you home to your Forever Family. And I promise you sweet love of mine....that we will love life together......you and me....forever and always.... Mother and Son.

Steffie, I can't imagine what is going through your head and heart now. But, this little glimse is so sweet.
You are top of mind for me right now and I am constantly checking up on you for updates. Please know you are in my prayers as you prepare.
And, I can imagine that you are having fun doing so shopping too.

You deserve him.. he is soooo HANDSOME...
Simply beautiful Steffie! I'm just sooo happy for you. I've seen so many answered prayers lately. I bet it's surreal after all the months of waiting. God is so good!
Congrats!
So beautifully said!
OH, so sweet....I feel like saying " A clue, a clue" on his age...LOL
So happy for you sweet friend. Oh, and I think FB chat was not being nice last night...anyway, Coby is doing great. I posted his bday pics : )
We who are praying can pray you there and back:) We can pray for instant LOVE....we can pray for quick smiles and many hugs....we can do this, because we who have continued to pray for all waiting families just this week received an answered prayer....you saw his precious face...this week.
Thanking God for prayers answered and for those He already knows we will send up to Him....
Now, hurry up and get approved for travel on this sweet boy of yours...I've been out of this loop for a time now, last time we went on over to China was 2006, brought home an older child, my daughter, Jadyn Hua....
SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT??? Do you still await PA or are you just waiting on TA??? What is next in the wait for the Tribe, how can we pray specifically for you....let us know and it will be done!!!
What a beautifully written post. He is so loved. His world will forever be complete. All my best!!
Written from the heart, Steffie. Blessings to you as you wait this last little bit.
LOL Laura, I thought the same thing!! :)
I'm so excited for your family, Steffie. I can't wait to see your precious son's face!!
Your words like poetry ... and so is your love for your precious new son. I can't wait to see his sweet face!
I have shed some tears for you this week! What an amazing New Year for your family. He does not yet know how blessed he will be by all of you, but soon, very soon he will know the love of his forever family. Congratulations!
I'm dying to see that sweet face!
Oh man I am just crying happy tears for you all...this is so wonderful.
I can't wait to see his handsome little face!
Oh Steffie...so beautiful and from the heart written for your little son. I have been there too. On the plane flight TO China to adopt Grace I knew we'd be back to adopt a second time. You'll be holding your boy very, very soon.

Have fun getting ready for the new one it won't be long until you see his little face in person :)
This brought tears to my eyes...how wonderfully magnificent He is that these dates of your pregnancy and your newest son's birth are so close together. I also will be praying you to China and back home. I have already begun praying for attachment between Mother and Son...XXXOOO
