Today is an important day for us, this marks the one year anniversary that we made the decision to pursue Korea. We had weighed all the pros and cons and made the decision to move forward with another adoption other than China. This day also marks a 7 month waiting period for us since we sent our paperwork to Korea. I feel like today is special because we were able to make a hard decision about how quickly we would like to be parents. We still have our paperwork in China, maybe that will work out, maybe it won't but we are at peace with what that may or may not hold.
Today, I am reflecting on the ability to move forward and have the knowledge that what we decided to do a year ago today was a decision that was prayed about and made with an open mind and open heart. I look forward to what the month of May will bring us. I know there is a flower blooming half way around the world for us and I can't wait to see our precious child's face for the first time. I know we are next in line for a referral and will probably be on edge for the next few weeks waiting for the phone to ring and to hear we are the proud parents of.............
I may not have a reason to celebrate Mother's day this year but I have a reason to celebrate life. I have a wonderful life with wonderful friends and family and the support we need.
Happy 1 year/7 months day to us!! Thank you God for giving us guidance and knowledge to follow our hearts. I know you are nurturing our child and everyone around him or her, hold our baby close as we are but a phone call away from a wonderful change in our life.
Happy mother's day to all the mothers and mothers to be!!!
