Those LID eyes

Today we got news of our LID - Logged in Date.

The CCCWA logged our dossier into their system on May 26, 2011.

The very same day this picture was taken.

The SAME DAY that he was given a hug and told his family loved him.


13 days after DTC - Dossier to China.

I run the numbers in my mind constantly.

Like a calculator.

If this step completes on such and such day, we can go in September.

If this step completes later, we go in October.

Repeat.

Often.

Bargain.

Pray.

Plead.

Haven't cried yet.

But the eyes...
What do these eyes say to you?

Come and get me.

I want a family.

I need a mommy and a daddy
to love me and take care of me.

My heart hurts.

I am alone.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. JAMES 1:27

  1. Jennifer - I sent you my e-mail awhile back. Did you get it. Loved seeing the photos of your precious son. Praying that you will travel sooner instead of later. Dana

  2. @Dana: I did get your e-mail which is locked up in a broken computer. I have a bazillion questions and would love to ask you a few. Can you e-mail me again?
