Is This A Sign From Above?

Since my last post I have been doing a lot of soul searching and praying about weather or not to switch countries in the adoption process and the more that I think about it the more I know that we have to wait for China because this is where our daughter will be waiting for us to come and take her home.

It has been a heck of a couple of days! Last week I was out shopping for a ceiling fan for the baby’s room. All of a sudden I had this total feeling of calm that just came over me and in my minds eye I saw our TWO beautiful girls! You all know that we applied for twins if they became available, but twins are very rare and more than likely we will only receive one child. I can’t explain why two, but it just felt so right.

I got to thinking…they say that the wait is currently at 18-24 months.

We are now four months into our official wait. I really think that we have received a sign from above (you can call me crazy, but I believe it!!) that our daughters have recently been conceived.

Think about this…it’s nine months for the pregnancy, the Chinese Government requires that they try to find the parents for six months before the child is made paper ready for adoption—this adds up to a total 15 months, we already have four months behind us in our wait so that brings us up to 19 months…the amount of time that it take to make our children paper ready would be a month or three which brings you up to 22 months, we get our referral and can not travel for two months and that brings us right to 24 months.

You may think that I’m reaching, but it makes since to me and helps me to realize that she/they truly are real.

I think that their mother is very excited that she is pregnant and probably a little scared at the same time. I pray that she finds piece within herself and that she loves these babies like only a mother can. I pray that she doesn’t blame herself for what she will do once the babies are born and that she finds piece in knowing that these children will be ok and given the best chances in life that we can give them. I pray that she finds piece.

Our girls are coming!!
