Today Marks 1 year and 9 months waiting for our baby to come home. This is a sweet anniversary for me as I can finally see a light at the end of this long tunnel. I never really believed when we started this process that we would still be waiting. Gods plans are not my plans and his timing is not my timing, thank goodness for that because I think I'd be really good at screwing up his plan :-) I was given a bible verse this week from a dear friend that reminded me of how valued I am by God. "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me." Isaiah 49:16 Wow that verse says it all doesn't it?

I am so thankful that I have made such wonderful friends through Dillon International, that alone has made this wait bearable. I feel such a closeness and connection with them that I think only adoption can bring. I am so blessed that Dillon has a forum where parents can share, laugh, cry and ask questions, I wasn't aware but not alot of adoption agency have this courtesy for their adoptive parents. A very good friend of ours just adopted from Russia and she longed for someone to talk to who also adopted from Russia, but they had no forum. So today I'm feeling blessed by wonderful friends and an awesome adoption agency.
