Joy Unspeakable
Ever since I stepped on the pathway to adopt a baby from China there has been a deep joy springing up inside my heart. All my life the one thing I have wanted is to be a mom. I keep smiling to myself that it is finally my turn. Each day I feel a secret joy when I think about this baby girl. I used to weep from a sadness and an ache that only having a child could fill, and now I find myself crying tears of happiness that she is almost here. I just want to say thank you to God!

Christi, I've only met you a couple of times (not to mention lots of cyberspace meetings) and I know you're going to be an incredible, loving and warm mom. You already are - you just haven't met your lucky daughter, yet! When you do, I know she will feel that same wonderful joy that you are her forever mommy!

Hi I am just followingsome of the adoption BLOGS around and meeting some really neat people on the same journey as my daughter and son-in-law. They are adopting out of Mexico so there is no sense of group with others traveling alongside with them etc. They live in a Border town in AZ and heard about an orphanage very close to the border. It was there that they first saw Elia back in Sep when she was only weeks old.
Today I added a photo to my BLOG that kinda sums up our past week. Elia put her mark on the world Thurs and it is the cutest little picture. Come to see it. We have the adoption decree done now, she has a birth certificate now and Tues the paperwork should be in INS's hands. Then they wait for a phone call to go to Juares, and bring her home to AZ.er adoption is out of Mexico so they do not have any kind of support group of others traveling the journey with them. I am grandma to be and find it even harder to find anyone who has a clue what my shoes feel like as I watch them travel this road.

Your words echo my feelings EXACTLY. For as long as I can recall, I have wanted to be a mom. Can't wait to read your referral post! I am living through other people until it's my turn :)
