I think of my daughter often and envision her face. I imagine how my life is going to change once I meet her and bring her home. I am filled with excitement and fear and love! All of these emotions keep me going! I catch myself buying small outfits in different sized and can see her beautiful face in them. This seems to be the one thing I have that makes everything feel real! I don't have the standard 9 month pregnancy like most Mommies, so this is just one thing I do for us.
All of our paperwork was finished up on September 1st, 2009. The adoption agency said a referral would come in about 6-8 months, so I still have many months before I see my daughters face and hear all about her. Then will have another 4 months before travel to Ethiopia. I hope to travel before the end of summer 2010. Laura and Kim are traveling with me, so we need to travel before Kim goes back to school.
Be well.
