Somewhere, someone is waiting. Though I can't see your face I know your heart
'cause God has knit us together
Even though we're far apart
and until you can be here safe in my arms
I will trust
that somewhere, someone is holding you close
And keeping you warm.
My thoughts, my prayers are for you
Father, love her, protect her
I know you do
And until that perfect timing
when our hearts and eyes will meet
I will rest knowing that You are there. I will trust.
That somewhere, someone is holding you close
and keeping you warm.
If time could stand still
our love would bridge the ocean
But know that until then
that even an ocean, can't keep me from you
Hold on, little one, hold on...
And until you can be here safe in my arms. I will trust. That somewhere, someone is holding you close
and keeping you warm.
Vaughn and I have been married for 10 1/2 years. 7 years ago, we decided to increase our family of 2. After 3 1/2 failed invitro procedures, we decided to adopt. After much prayer and research, we felt drawn to China for our adoption.
We began our paperwork August 1st, 2005. We received our official log in date from the Chinese government on December 12th, 2005. The average wait time was 6 months at that time. We were very excited!
Then, in January of 2006, the Chinese government decided to slow down the process and
make the timeline longer. We waited 2 1/2 years. Then on December 5th, 2007 we received our referral.
December 5th is very special to me. It is my Dad's birthday. Amelia Grace will be the 1st grandchild for my parents. I was my maternal grandparents 1st grandchild and I was born on my Grandfather's birthday. I always thought it would be nice to have a child with the same birthday as her grandfather. God is so good; He had Amelia become a part of our family on December 5th. I know that she will love her Grandpa as much as I loved mine!
Now, we are on our way to bring her home from China.
We also want to thank all of our family and friends for all your prayers and support. We feel so blessed to have each of you in our lives. We hope you enjoy reading about our Journey to Ameila Grace.
