2 1/2 Years Old

I tried to post this yesterday, but time got away...

Our sweet girl is 2 1/2 years old today.

 

6 months until her 3rd birthday.

 

Only God knows what the next 6 months hold, but I'm praying we will be with our girl on her 3rd birthday. I hate we have already missed 2 birthdays with her.

 

We are so in love with this little girl that is 8,234 miles, across the ocean, on the other side of the world away from us.

 

Every time Matthew sees her picture he says, "I'm gonna protect baby sister!" When we ask if he wants to pray before we eat, his prayer is always the same, "I want to ask God to bring baby sister home. Thank you God for my food. Amen!" 

 

Eli asks EVERY. DAY. when baby sister is coming home. He says she is so cute he can't stand it! Haha!

 

Caleb is excited and ready for her to be home, but he is also old enough to understand all the things we are having to wait for.

 

I am SO thankful that her birth mother chose life for her. Another India adoptive mom put it so beautifully..."She wasn't given a name, but she was so LOVED that she was taken to a safe place...because some precious babies aren't." 

 

If you missed my last blog about her new name you can read it here

 

Our puzzle fundraiser is going on through Lifesong for Orphans...$5 per puzzle piece and your name goes on the back. The puzzle will be hung in her room with all the names showing at first.

 

You get a tax deductible letter for giving through Lifesong. You can donate online at https://mystory.lifesongfororphans.org/stories/adopting-daughter-india/ or mail a check payable to “Lifesong for Orphans”. In the memo line please write “Green 6422”, to ensure it is credited to our account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744.

 

Lifesong lets me know when checks have arrived so I can add names to our puzzle.

 

We are so grateful and thankful for those of you who love our family by praying and giving!! Please pray along with us that God's hand of protection will be on our daughter and that He will move mountains and work miracles to get our baby girl home to us soon! Can't wait to see her in next year's pumpkin patch picture!
