Cautiously Optimistic





Right now that is my motto!!!! I would be lying if I said I wasn't attatched. In fact, I carry her picture with me everywhere I go (even around the house). So, if you see me out, just ask - she's in my purse ;) But, to somehow protect my heart I have to remind myself that right now this isn't my daughter. I know how this goes - you look over files, you fall in love with an idea & a picture and then you get the phone call that she is now going to be a member of someone else's family. I haven't EVER fallen as hard as I have with this precious little girl. So, why would God give her to us for this time? Are we just supposed to be her prayer warriors for a half week? Are we going to learn something about this adoption process? Is He just reminding us that He is still in this? Is He getting us ready to change our route completely? Or is this truly the final leg in this race to our beloved little girl? I don't know. I would like to hope it's the last option, but I have to remain secure in knowing that He is in total control of this adoption no matter what happens.
I love the pictures. I just had to find something. As I am starting to do a little research, I have discovered their currency & found a few pictures of landscapes. And yes, South Korea is just as beautiful. Why wouldn't it be? God created all this earth to enjoy. I will find more & share later. Well, one thing is certain. This has definately gotten me researching & studying something besides China for the first time in over 2 years. ;0) God is good.
Oh & by the way, just for the record - Dr. David gave us the "okay" to proceed. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
