The Time is Drawing Nigh

Hi Friends. I just wanted to say that if we are able to travel at our desired dates (February 12 to February 27) we have exactly 28 days until Gotcha Day. Which means that we will see our precious little Laura for the first time 4 weeks from today!!!!

So, in 29 days, we sign the adoption paperwork and she officially and legally becomes a member of the Lindsey family!!! And, in 38 days, we touch back down in the good ole USA and Laura Abigail FuJuan Lindsey will be an American citizen. AND, that means she will be sleeping in her lovely little bed right beside mine in 38 days!!!!!!!! I am so excited.

Now, CCAA MUST cooperate with us and send our TA this week and the US Consulate in China must cooperate with us and schedule our CA on Feb. 25, 2008. Pray for these dates as we are so tired of waiting for our little girl!!

It sounds weird, but I miss her. How can you miss someone you have never met? Well, my friend Kim Rutherford put is so clearly to me.....She said, "It is because she is already yours in your spirit because God knew long ago that she is your daughter. When you (me) realized that Laura was to be yours, your spirit was prepared to be her mother. Mothers miss their kids when they are away from home."
Kim is a very wise lady.

God bless all of you. Thank you for sharing this very exciting time in our life and rejoicing with us in the "birth" of our newest child.
