Kisses in the Wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember my child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
I just have to take a minute to tell you my heart. I feel so blessed and you all are an amazing group of family and friends. Just since our fundraiser last weekend we have raised another $300.00. God is so amazing to watch in action. My niece who is in boot camp right now a I write this, sent us a letter the other day telling us how excited she is for us. She also sent us a donation for our adoption. It is so crazy for me to think that the little girl that use to have picnics in our yard, and sang and played for hours on video is now all grown up and helping to support our adoption. I had a dear client and her husband give a check and tell us that she is thankful for our family. We received a check in the mail today from some very good friends of ours who were also there supporting us at the fundraiser. I can not tell you how amazing it is to see everyone gather around us in prayer and support. We knew going into this that $28,000 is humanly impossible to come up with and the only way it was going to be possible was through God himself. Well, he is working hard and we can not thank him enough. We even received our first set of hats and booties from a girlfriend of mine that is incredibly talented when it comes to knitting.
We have turned in most of the paperwork that we had to fill out. We are now waiting to get our physicals. We also still have to make a blueprint of our house and an escape route in case of an emergency. We still have to get the dogs their newest shots and we are waiting to get back our well water tests. We had to get our well tested to make sure that our water is up to state standards. We did get our fingerprints done and they are running the background checks. We still have our classes left to take. The autobiographies were probably the hardest part. We had to write our life stories with specific questions that had to be answered. The funny thing is you can so tell the difference between man and woman when it comes to telling a story. I answered questions in paragraph form and sometimes it took a few. Kent's answers were very much straight and to the point. Sometimes they were only one sentence answers. His was short and sweet and very much to the point. Mine were very long winded and very intricate. I am so blessed to be married to a man that helps even me out. He is amazing and God knew exactly what he was doing when he through our paths together a little over 16 years ago.
I can't wait to get this home study finished so we can start waiting for our referral. We are hoping to have it all done by the middle of October! We ask that you keep this whole process in your prayers. There is a lot of paperwork that has to be mailed here and there and we ask for prayers that it all to be mailed and received in a very timely manor. Thank you all again for all of your love and all of your support.
