Update


Well, we finally received our letter with our appointment to get fingerprinted. We go on November 4th at 9 am. That means we are one step closer to sending our paperwork. I am looking for her bedding and stuff for her room now. I cannot wait to get started on that! Maybe that will keep me occupied and from going stir crazy. I have so many ideas and there is just so much out there to choose from. I do know that I am going with pink/brown. I have already bought clothes, I just hope they all fit. I bought Madie her first bracelet this last weekend. It is just so much fun to buy girl stuff! The boys keep telling me she already has more clothes than they do.


I have really been wandering if Madie has been conceived yet. I just get butterflies thinking that she very well could be growing! I just pray for her and her mother's health during this time. I often think about who her birth parents are and what they are like. Oh how they must feel to have to give her up. I will be forever grateful to them for keeping her and for God allowing us to have her. As a mother, I can't imagine making that decision.


Madie, I can't wait to hold you in my arms and see your beautiful face! Me, your daddy and your brothers are all getting more excited everyday thinking about you. I know that you are going to capture the hearts of many people. I don't know how long we will have to wait for you to come home, but I pray that it is very soon. I will wait an eternity if I have to. I love you very much! Mommy

I have really had a tough week, it just seems as though I will never get our paperwork to China. If you read this please pray for this to happen soon! Goodnight for now!

USCIS


We got a letter in the mail Saturday from the USCIS saying they forwarded our application on, and now we wait for our fingerprinting letter. Progress is so nice!
Madison has been heavy on my heart and mind today. I wonder if her birth mother is pregnant with her yet? I really feel that she is. I just pray for hers and Madie's health. It is really strange to love Madie as much as I do my boys, which I gave birth to. The only explanation that I have to offer anyone, is that it is a love put there by God so strongly that you feel as if your heart is going to just explode sometimes. Just as child birth, adoption is a miraculous thing. Madie, mommy loves you so very much and we can't wait to bring you to your home and give you all the love that you can stand!

Everyone has asked if we have a picture, and of course we don't yet. But we do have an ultrasound!
