We Already Miss Her!!

It's hard not to have a face to put with the daughter we have in China. It's really hard not to know if she has been born yet. I didn't anticipate that Han would be the one to miss her the most. She has started to say several times a day, "I wan my baby sistuh." Me: "Me too, Han, but we can't go get her until China says we can." Han: "Buh she naw have MommyDaddy!" (big concern in her voice) Me: "Someone is taking care of her for us. Why don't we pray for her."
Since we are hoping that we get to go get her in June of 2007, it's going to be a really long wait for the Big Sister! The poem below expresses our hearts right now.

Kisses in the Wind

We hold you in our hearts and touch you with our dreams.

You are here each day with us, at least that how it seems.

We know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.

But remember child, we love you so, and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze, and let it touch your skin...

Because tonight, just as always, we blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in his hand, until we can be with you.

We promise you, our darling, we're doing all that we can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, we blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in his arms and hold you very tight.

And let the angels bring you kisses we send to you each night.
