{ Our Birthday Girl }

Happy Birthday

I see the spark here. It might be contained, but it is there. We were told that her favorite color is pink, that she likes to wear pants, (good thing we have a lot of leggings for our dresses) that she likes dolls and loves school. bday 2 edit
We were also told that she afraid of "no power" (the dark?), that she loves to be with
her friends, that her friends are NOT
being adopted and that she has seen our pictures. bday 4 edit
They also told us that she had hoped to be adopted and that she is very gentle and shy.
Don't worry sweet girl.....your
birthday wish will come true. We are coming.......
just hang on a little longer my love. bday 3 edit
It looks like a fun celebration with her friends.
I was so excited to see
other children in the pictures as well. I hope that she
will be able to tell us who they are and if that was her
caretaker with her. She has on the coat we
sent along with the big stuffed animal. 5 edit
It also looks like they are letting her hair grow as I asked them to do back in July. Yes, with this third adoption, I was not scared to ask for the things I wanted. We continue to pray for her health and safety. I know we are so very close to our journey. I/we are so ready.......LOOK AT HER!!!!!!!! I/we are so blessed.........these pictures will get me through this last part of our wait. I see hope in her eyes, I see a gentle soul and a beautiful little girl that needs a Momma and a HUGE family to love her forever. We are coming my sweet Olivia.......Momma is coming!

Oh Steffie, what a gift for you to have these pictures! The one with her making the wish made me cry.
You can see what a gentle, sweet girl she is through those eyes!

Olivia, your momma's coming to get you soon.

Um, I noticed you said her friends weren't being adopted? That makes me sad...might have to have a conversation with you about that one. ;)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

She's really precious. I think she'll be able to tell you who the kids are. Faith went through all her pictures with me and she could tell me who they were how many foster brothers and sisters they had, how old they were and if they had come to America, etc etc. I think you'll be surprised what she'll know. I can't wait to see you bring her home!!

What precious pictures of your sweet girl!! I so hope we get to meet her in China. God's speed to your sweet girl!! We are getting so close!

Charity said...

I'm speechless. (wow I know!)

She is beautiful. Love that they didn't cut her hair like you asked. That's HG's biggest goal right now - except I think she is thinking Crystal Gayle long. YIKES!!!!!!!
Take care friend. You are almost there. Continue to pray,
Charity
