This will be a long process. I
remind myself of that daily. This part, the waiting, fundraising, and not
knowing is hard. I don’t know for sure where she is or who she is, but I know
my daughter is out there. And I can’t wait to meet her! All I can do at this
time is prepare myself, my home, my heart for the day we will bring her home.
Mostly, I pray. I pray for my Cora, my heart. I pray for the arms who are
holding her now while my husband and I can’t be there. I pray for the mother
who gave her life and for the decision she has had to make. I can’t imagine the
difficulty of that decision, but I am thankful for it. I’m thankful that she
chose to put her baby in a place where she could be adopted. She will be loved.
I can’t wait for the day that Jason and I will be able to tell our daughter,
“Before we knew you, we loved you! And we chose you!” These days will be
challenging, but worth it. Sometimes I, we, need a little reminder of that. So
we bought the first decoration for Cora’s room. It’s currently sitting in front
of our TV to remind us that all the challenges have a purpose and that God’s
timing (whatever or whenever it is) is perfect!
Those are my thoughts tonight
as I dream of my daughter.
Goodnight!
