My dearest babe, borne into our hearts:

I am writing this letter to you, my sweet baby, to let you know what an amazing day we had yesterday.  We are working so hard to bring you home to us as soon as possible.  Every day without you in my arms is heart wrenching, but we know that your heavenly Father is holding you in the palm of his hand and taking much better care of you than we ever could.

Some friends of ours, who we can't wait for you to meet, opened up their restaurant to our friends and family yesterday.  We were praying for a good turn out, but what we received was more than we could have ever imagined.  The restaurant was PACKED all day with people who want to bring you home - it was the restaurant's best day EVER!  There were people we have known for years, people we have just met, people we had NEVER met and they were all sent there by God to help us bring you home!  The love and support was AMAZING and overwhelming and more humbling than anything we have ever experienced.  


Do you have any idea how loved you are already?  You are going to be surrounded by amazing people when you come home.  Your family is God-sized.  We were so excited to be able to share how God has borne you in our hearts and how He is working through this whole thing, how He is providing every step of the way, and how wonderful and amazing He is.  You are making a difference in people's lives already, you are helping us to show God's love already, you are so loved already and you might not even be born into this world yet!  That is only something that God can do and we are so humbled and blessed to be a part of it.  You are going to be such a bright light in this world of so much darkness, but yesterday showed us that God's love is real and present and a very strong force.

I just want you to know, my love, that we are working so hard to bring you home and until then you are covered in prayer by people that love you and have been hand picked by God.  We are all praying that you are surrounded by His angels of mercy and protection and grace and that you will be in your forever home very, very soon.

All our love, hugs, kisses, and snuggles,
Mommy, Daddy, and sisters
