My last post was about how our care package that is stuck in customs and it still is, but after I made that post I received an email from CCAI , our adoption agency. It was an update on our Wei Wei. Nothing could have made us happier that day. It was our 26th wedding anniversary and what a gift we were given. It included two pictures and a very short video. They told us that she had been informed of our intention to adopt her. The update said she was in good health. They said she was excited, that is a relief for sure. I have worried about her reaction to the news of her adoption. Would she be excited, scared or even disappointed? Every night when I go to bed and pray for her I think about what she may be doing right now. Is she happy, is she playing, when will she find out that she is getting adopted? Now we know she knows about the adoption and my thoughts have changed a little in those moments. I wonder if she is thinking of us? What it is like to be on the other side, it is unknown to me. What is she asking herself? What are we like, are we nice, will we love her forever no matter what happens? How long till they come get me? I can’t imagine all the things that may be going through her mind. As I ponder on these things I am in awe of how my life has changed in the last 6 months. What I focus on and how I think about others more. How I look at the hope God has given to us all. It is not that God just showed up but that I have had to trust Him more and my life is better because of it.
