... I was a completely different person that I am today. The past year's experiences have truly made me clay in his hands each and every day, renewing the way I think, the way I trust, and the way I live even. This month, one year ago, I sent off my application for a contract home study to start the -what has become- long process of bringing my girl home.
- October 2, 2007, I sent off the application.
- October 8, 2007, I got a job to where I would actually be able to adopt her.
- October 19, 2007, my first home study visit.
I can't believe it has been a year. I am 12 months pregnant on paper and if I get any "fatter" I think I'll just explode!! It has been a year of worrying, then giving it all back to God (again), a year of morning "sickness" 24 hours a day, a year of not being able to wait another minute to see the life inside of me (in my heart). Please God let her come home soon.

I am totally with you on this post! I hit the year mark in September! It has been a painful pregnancy! The way Ethiopia works is that once court passes Ben is mine and I can travel to get him 5 weeks after court. However, court has already failed once, so I am SUPER nervous! Do you have any idea as to when you might bring your little home?
Amanda, we are praying with you for her to come home soon! I keep telling Fern that Flor is coming home soon!!! Love you!
This is so sweet! I feel the exact same way. Soon I am sure we will forget all about the long long wait once our girls are home!
You must miss her like crazy. I am hoping for good news and praying for you both. God's timing will be perfect.
Fern and I just said a prayer for Flor to get out of PGN TODAY!!!
With a child-like faith, Melodie and Fern...
