It's amazing how by seeing a picture of the little girl God has chosen for us just a few weeks ago, who is all the way in China, that I love her so strongly and miss her and it's so powerful it brings tears to my eyes. It's the little things too, like wanting her chapped cheeks to be moisturized and desperately wanting to see her smile.  And wishing she knew she had a Daddy and Mommy that already love her and sisters and brothers that want her home. To the big things of wanting her to have surgery so she doesn't have a gapping hole in the roof of her mouth and wanting to hold her in my arms so she knows she is secure in our arms and secure in Jesus' love for her. Missing my baby girl today...

We have been matched to a little girl in China! She will be 2 years old in June. She has cleft lip (post-op.) and cleft palate. She's beautiful and we are so in love. We can't wait to bring her home! We can't share her picture until we have LOA (Letter of Approval) from China, which will be about 2 months. So you'll just have to trust us that she is a cutie and has captured our hearts! We covet your prayers especially for her, for all the medical appointments, procedures, surgeries she will have to endure, for all the paperwork that has to be done, for our trip, for our family.
