Today as I watched my sweet E play with a group of little girls my heart ached for our Little A to be home with us. The road ahead is still quite long as we continue to await our I-797 approval but this mama is ready to have our referral in hand and to see the precious face that will be joining our family.
We have been on the waiting family list for a little over 2 months. Our agency says many families are on the list anywhere from 1-6 months with some families waiting a little longer. So we do not know how much longer we will be on list. Most days the wait is not too hard but there are times like this morning when I watch E play with friends or when I see a little girl who could look like our Little A or when we have a fun family adventure planned that I feel that empty place in my heart.
E continues to talk about her sister everyday and continues to amaze me with her thoughtfulness and love towards a sister whom she does not know.
Continuing to wait and enjoying the moments but we cannot wait to share them with Little A.
