Can you believe it? Already we have been blessed with the match of a PRECIOUS baby girl!!
It was Christmas Eve the day we received the call. We weren't really expecting any kind of news from our agency during the holidays, but we were surprised with the greatest Christmas present!
She is adorable and cute - and I don't just say that because she's my daughter! :) At this time, we can't really share too much publicly about her until our adoption is finalized, but I can tell you that she is already loved and adored by her parents, brothers and extended family here.
She is currently 7 months old and we have started the mountains and mountains of paperwork to get her home as quickly as possible. The first question that many of you have for us is "when will she get to come home?" and our answer to that is (unfortunately): "We really don't know." I wish we did...I wish we had a very strategic time frame to work with (because, for those of you who know me well, know that the organizational madwoman in me needs a logistical, mapped out spreadsheet with timelines and events...) but due to the loads of paperwork that get processed both on the US side and the Korea side, it's a very unpredictable time frame.
So - in the meantime, we will keep you updated as we can and know more!
We continue to ask you for your prayers as we wait for her. Please pray that she stays healthy and happy and continues to progress in her development as she begins reaching lots of "baby milestones" in this upcoming year! She is in the care of a loving foster family now and know she is getting lots of love and attention!
We are so thankful and blessed for the outpouring of support and love we have received during this journey thus far. We ask that you begin praying for Jovie (as we have named her), that her little heart would already begin the preparation of accepting us as her mommy and daddy and learning to love our family through th pictures, cards, videos. Etc. that we will be sending her over the next several weeks via care packages.
We also ask that you pray for us as we prepare our hearts, home and family for her arrival, even though it will be quite some time before she is home with us. We are already just smitten in love with her. We hope that our home can be a place she finds comfort, strength, support and love all the days of her life.
