Missing her and wondering what life will be like when she is here. Looking forward to getting to know her better, to bonding, to becoming a big, happy, busy family.
Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

Thinking of Her
I think of her often. Here is the photo I have on my desktop. I think it's my favorite right now.

Two more weeks and a few sleeps away from bringing her home. There isn't much space in our house for her but I've carved a corner of our bedroom as her space for now. We will move a "smaller" sized crib in our master bedroom and put some pink sheets on the little crib mattress. I have a small stack of adorable clothes and bows. We're ready, can we get her now?

I am praying! What a joyful day that will be bringing her mom tostay! Praise God! Hugs to all! Anne
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! Congrats!! I hope the wait goes by really fast. We are waiting too. I cant wait to see her in pictures in her home with her big brothers. They must be so excited. Thank you for allowing us fellow bloggers to share with you in your amazing journey. Be blessed.
ReplyDeleteIt will be very soon!!! It's going to be fun to see pink showing up in places that have been dominated by blue for so long! I love that picture too. She is just precious!

Pretty soon that crib will be filled! I can't wait :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you get one of those mini-cribs? We're looking at those since Darya's bedroom isn't very big and we don't want to take the daybed out that's in there.
Also, how did you know what size clothes to bring with you? Did you guess?
The waiting must be the hardest. June will bring two new babies into our little world... Sofia and her buddy... "Saint Farmer" as Lisa dubbed him :-) Yay for June!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read your future posts when she is home and learning about her new and exciting life!
ReplyDeleteYour post just convinced me we do have room for precious little Anna at Sophia's orphanage. I was worried about getting approval with so little space for her in our home. The love in our hearts is big enough and I keep her picture close by already. With any luck, hubby and I will start our journey this week. Don't know where the money will come from but I think God has a plan. . . . P.S. If I win the lottery, I am bringing her mom home too!!!
ReplyDeleteOh this makes me so excited to go get my Makayla. They are so close in age, I can totally picture what she will look like!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it is only 2 more weeks until you go get her!!!!!!! SO EXCITING!!!! can't wait to see the fun "girly" things you have for her, too!!! i bet the boys are just soooooo excited for her to be home with you!
ReplyDeleteI have some clothes for Sofia! I'll try to drop them off this week.
ReplyDeleteHurray, Darlene! Sofia is such a special girl to have brought so many families together!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you. I can't wait for your return. This post was perfect for many people to read. God Bless you!!
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long until you have her in your arms again. Can't wait to see posts and pictures after she's home. Praying the wait goes quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Barbara

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI just bought 2 of your wristbands. One for my 7 year old who has DS and one for my not so "typical" teenager. They will be honored to support you on your journey. God bless!
