Last wed. one of our little girls turned 4 years old. It still amazes me how we can miss and love someone that we have not met. For this "mom to be", last wed. was a very difficult day.
My husband in all his wisdom suggested we ask if sending her a "Happy Birthday" email was ok. I thought it to be a long shot, but asked our adoption agency anyway. THEY SAID YES.
I quickly typed up an email... trying to express our hearts for her... trying to express our anxious desire to have her home with us... and hoping/praying that my words would break the language barrier of creole vs. english. Signing the email... with tears in my eyes... " all our hugs & kisses, Daddy & Mommy"
Waiting with breath held and anxious hearts... to find out if the email was actually delivered to her... read to her... expressed to her...
God is an amazing God... Thursday afternoon- email forwarded via our agency, from the orphanage... with four beautiful pictures of our little Talie- reading her birthday email and SMILING!
Love is the universal language!
Now we are praying and hoping and asking for pictures of Sheldine... and hoping/praying and asking for pictures of our girls together!
