Friday
Well today is one of those days when I wake up and just felt drained. I really hate Fridays, mostly because it means that the week is over and with no news. I truly, really thought that we would hear something the beginning of September. And now we are nearing the end and still nothing. I hear all the time, " It will happen, hang in there" , but I don't think those friends realize that Jesse and I both know that sometimes it doesn't. So it's hard to have faith that things will work out in our favor. My mom is convinced that we are going to get twins. When we applied to China we requested twins, so our immigration paperwork that we have to use for the next baby is approved for twins. In my family we have 10 sets of twins in the last 3 generations in our family, so Jesse and I thought that we would have twins when we got pregnant. Of course it is so unlikely because Lifelink has never gotten twin referrals. I just think it's funny that she feels that is what is going to happen. So I just need some words of encouragement today to last me through the weekend. I already emailed our social worker for some, even though I know she is running out of them with us. Have a great weekend everyone, we are going to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" tomorrow.

Kara,
All I can say is that I think of you every.single.day. You are not the only one who prays that you will soon see Ashley. There are a lot of people who wish for nothing more than to see your family happy and complete.
I have no idea when that day will come for you, but I guarantee it will be a MAJOR day of celebration that will be spread over a lot of states (and blogs). :)
Let us know how the movie is.
Really there is nothing to say but I am sorry! I really thought that there would be some news this month to. Just try to stay busy this weekend.
I also think of you ALOT and hope that the waiting will end for you soon.
I think it's cute that your mom thinks you'll get twins. I have hoped for twins with all my pregnancies and would LOVE to get a twins referral. I'm praying for it actually. But if it's not HIS will, I accept that. Hopefully your mom will be right! Wouldn't THAT be too cool!?
Thinking of you this weekend and hoping and PRAYING that the wait will soon end for you!
Thinking of you daily, Kara. Ashley is out there ~ I can't wait for you to "meet" her and see how perfect she is for your family. I am praying that you won't be waiting much longer for this moment.
here is my favorite poem, maybe you can find comfort in it.
Kisses in the wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
Kara, I just want you to know that there are lots of us out here who think of you and pray that you will meet Ashley soon.
It is so hard to understand what God's plan is for us. I waited so long to be a mom only to have my twin girls and then to watch them slip away to HIM. It's not for us to know I guess what we must go through, the challenges that we are given, especially when we don't like them and they are not part of "our plan".
Ashley will come and you soon you will be able to celebrate. Hang in there.....
I wish i knew what else to say ..
