Want to know what the best part of this whole process has been so far? How many times God has given us exactly what we need, and shown us time and time again that his hand is in this whole thing.
Since being matched with our little girl we have been stressing about how she is, if she's sick will they get her help right away, what are the conditions she's living in, who's taking care of her, is she loved and hugged or is she alone a lot of the time.
A few weeks ago a friend said her cousin was going to travel around the country she's from, and wondered if she would maybe be able to go and visit her. Thankfully it was able to be arranged and we not only got a video and more photos of our baby, we actually got to video chat with her on Skype! We got to see some pretty big smiles from her, and completely melted over how precious she is. Seriously, she's one CUTE baby. She looked so healthy, alert and content. She's pretty tiny for four months (especially compared to what Donny was at that age...) but that doesn't seem to be slowing her down!
We got to see the room she is in, and even her crib mate (she is never alone!) and the nannies that care for her. It is nowhere near the same as having a family, but we have comfort to know that she is doing well, and is being well cared for.
Our paperwork is still chugging along as far as we know, and still no word on when we can travel. Jake and I are still holding on to hope that we can travel by late January, but not sure that is possible or not. If we're still around in February you may want to avoid me, I'll probably be pretty grumpy...
