A piece of US to leave with IAN

















All glory to god for putting this special task into the hands of HF, Anna's mommy. Words can never be enough. We hope to leave this book with Ian when we are forced to leave him at the orphanage after our first trip. We don't want him to think we just left him and that we are not coming back.

  3. Thanks Julia and Molly! Can't wait to give it to him. Sad that that will likely be not until 2011. But it will be.

  7. Thank you Rachel, can't wait to read it to him with him and Ari sitting on my lap together. I hope the Orphanage will allow Ari to come in when we meet him the first time. It is amazing to me that when we walk in to meet him for the first time, he will be looking on his family - his forever family. We will be looking at our son for the first time, it is overwhelming and I know you know the feeling, many times over. Prayer has walked us to this point and I know God will continue to provide for us to complete Ian's adoption prior to his 5th birthday in April.

  9. @Heather: I feel the same about sweet little Anna, oh to have all of those wonderful siblings! She will adore her new family! I cannot wait to see her big smile while lying around the beach on a family vacation! Wee hee - Auntie Heather is going to see my baby! So so happy and eager, living vicariously through you for the next few weeks!:)
