All in His Timing!!!

All I can say is Praise God!!!!! Our Dossier (aka: Giant stack of adoption papers) is finally out of my hands and on its way to our agency. So it will be headed for China in exactly one week!!!! And I say "finally" because we had to send our paperwork to Washington DC to be authenticated and there was one paper that the Chinese Embassy was not accepting because it had the word "Taiwan" which we were adopting from the beginning. You see Taiwan is really People's Republic of China and so they were not willing to authenticate it until the Taiwan was removed. So it took 3 changes before we finally got it right which took a trip to USCIS Federal Building in Cleveland and 3 trips to Columbus in 10 days, and today we got the call from our amazing courier service (I love you Tenisha) that the document was finally authenticated and off it went!!!! It really backed our paperwork up about 3 weeks!!!! I have never felt so distracted and out of control in my whole life. But in the end God's timing proves true when I know that the delays were for a reason and now we are one giant step closer to holding our little girl.

It is amazing how you can miss and love someone so much even someone that you have never have gotten to touch her hair, wipe a tear, or steal a sweet kiss. Someone who has captured your heart with just one picture. And with each new picture you see you love her millions times more. The one who cried when she found out she had a family. Like her dreams came true. If only she knew she is our dream come true. Our little Mariah. Soon little one, soon!!!!!!
