I am emotionally tired this week as our wait has grown longer than anticipated. Although there has never been a definate answer as to when we would travel, you just base your information on how others journeys have progressed. We really thought that we would be traveling the first of July. Please know that I am truly aware that God is in control. He has orchestrated this entire adoption and I give Him praise for bringing Sophie into our lives. I just miss her and I don't even really know her. Each day that goes by, I fall more and more in love with her and I can't wait to wrap my arms around her. I stare at her face everyday so when I do see her it will feel like I have known her forever. The above picture was taken in December by our friends that traveled to pick up their daughter. I know she looks so sad but I like this picture because I can see her little hands, her cute little nose, and tiny little lips! This picture also makes me sad because 6 months have passed since it was taken.
Sweet Sophie we can't wait to come and get you. Our prayer is that God will prepare your heart to leave the only home that you have ever known to come and live with your forever family!!

Your sweet words brought tears to my eyes as I read it. It will be soon.
Oh Sherrie, I completely understand. I feel the same way. We were matched with Addison almost a year ago and I was hoping to bring her home before that year was up. Now that won't happen. I try to stay positive but with each day that passes, that gets harder and harder. I know that everything will happen when it's supposed to, but I need my little girl home where she belongs! Let's try to look at it this way, each day that passes is still one day closer to bringing our little ones home! Hang in there!
Hi, my friend,
I was so hoping when I got back home, you would be in China! Well, that just means one thing, God has some more work to do before He sends you on this great journey. Oh, how hard it is to wait, though. Keep the faith, my dear, He is in charge of the Universe and He is in charge of the Peak family!
