About thirty minutes after my post yesterday, I got the long awaited (as in, waited for 6 days - ha!) phone call from our social worker!!
It was so great to hear her voice - it brought tears to my eyes and made it finally feel real. This is HAPPENING! Monday we will have our orientation interview, and then get our fingerprints taken care of...
There are multiple adoption blogs I read that so encourage me - and I was reading one today of a family that is adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. Her friends had a shower for her, and this is what the invitation said...
I didnt give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other,
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didnt give you the gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you!
I just sat there and cried... what a joy, what a blessing this mom is about to experience!
Thank you Lord, that You choose to let us be a part of your plan for the orphan...
