July Letter
Dear Ju-lie,
For years your Daddy and I have spent countless hours sharing
our thoughts about raising a daughter and how wonderful it would
be. Even your big brothers would ask us, “Mom and Dad, why can’t
we have a baby sister?” Despite these feelings we never had
another baby. As with most things in life, it is easy to
understand in hindsight why this never happened. You see we
firmly believe that it was God's plan that we never had another
child. Many discussions in quiet hours centered on how we might
grow our little family. Daddy was the one who felt that adoption
would be the best choice. On and off over many years the
discussion would keep coming up. Then we finally decided that it
was time to get started. We are so excited this time is finally
here!!
Your Daddy and I want you to know how very much you are a part
of our hearts already and we haven't even held you yet! Not too
long ago, we told your brothers that we were ready to begin the
process to adopt a little baby girl from China. Their joy was
unexplainable!! They too, like us knew that their hearts were
not complete without a baby sister.
How my heart aches for that first moment when I will lay eyes on
you, touch your skin, and hold you close to me. Some days I have
to remind myself that this is really real. How I have longed to
be a Mommy to a tender, sweet daughter! We’ve all been praying
for you every day and every night. We find such comfort that God
knows who you are and He knows us too. Dear sweet Ju-lie, it’s
just a matter of time before we are joined together, forever.
Our prayers are also for your birth Mommy and Daddy. The joy we
anticipate must be equally painful for them as they said
“Goodbye” to you. They loved you so much that they put aside
their needs to offer you a chance for a better life. We pray
they’ll know we’re all brothers and sisters in Christ, to be
reunited one day in heaven.
Each day I dream of what our lives will be like once you arrive
in our hearts and in our home. I know your brothers do too. So
often you will come up spontaneously in conversation between
them and their friends. Our daydreams are often about how
exciting it will be to share our life with you. There are so
many things we can’t wait to do for you Ju-lie. I long to gaze
upon your sweet face and drink in the beauty that God has given
you from your birth Mommy and Daddy. After that I want to hold
you like I’ll never, ever let you go. And I won’t, I promise.
Never, will you have to feel alone again. Between your Daddy and
I and your two big brothers…there will always be plenty of
loving arms to hold you tight. There will always be a lap to
curl up in. There will always be someone to kiss your tears
away. Every joy you experience will be ours too. Each of us has
a lot of living to do all over again as we see things through
your eyes. We are counting the days until our family is
complete.
With Love, from Mommy & Daddy
