DTC meant so much more... another confirmation that our amazing God is working everything out in His time, the best time. Yesterday morning, Thomas and I went to a local children's consignment fair with some wonderful friends. There I found lots of things for Ellie, and became so very excited about her being home. It felt "real" that we are adopting, not just a dream. My absolutely favorite item that I found yesterday was a beautiful Christening gown to have Ellie baptized in when she is home!! It is 24 months and just stunning! As soon as I saw it I could picture our beautiful girl wearing it on the day of her Baptism.
So today DTC not only meant Dossier To Ch*na... but more....Dress To Christen! I cannot wait until the day that we are able to share in the special day with our little girl.
Ellie, we are one step closer to bringing you home, baby girl! We love you so much! Thank you, Lord, for this day full of wonderful gifts.
Congratulations on being DTC! Doesn't it feel like a HUGE accomplishment? All of that paperwork is finally out the door.
ReplyDeleteEllie's Christening gown is just beautiful.
YAY!!!! Congrats that is HUGE. Praying for a very quick LOA so you can get that beautiful girl home and the Christening gown is absolutely gorgeous! Take a deep breath and always remember, even in the hard times, what you said.....His timing is always Perfect. There is an end to this and you will hold her soon even though when it comes to our children soon can never come fast enough. His hands will keep her safe until you get there.
