February Dreaming

I'm dreaming again of my darling Karleigh Mei.  I have dreamed of her for YEARS now and it's crazy to think that this time I'm dreaming of a little girl that probably has already been born.  I think about and pray for her sweet mother all the time.  How I know she loves this beautiful and perfect child that God created for the two of us.  How her heart must have broken when she knew she had to give her up.  I know that she has done this because she loves her oh-so-much.  I pray that the Lord wraps His arms around Karleigh Mei's mother and comforts her.  Both of us have this one thing in common right this very moment...we both ache to hold our darling daughter. This somehow, makes my ache for her seem more bearable.  I know what is to come.  May the ache in her heart be lifted with an indescribable peace that all will be well for her little one.  I pray that the Lord will reveal himself to her and she accepts all that He has done for her and for Our Karleigh Mei.  Thank you Lord, in advance, for all that you have done and are going to do in Karleigh Mei's life.  sigh.  Amen.

Oh, Jenn. I so understand these feelings. I also used to dream of our Maggie...and I just knew that she was already born (and she was).
I can't wait for the day when God shows you your daughter, when all of this waiting will make sense~

Hugs and more hugs~

Adoption is such a mixed bag of emotions. There really is no joy without pain. I pray God will grant your prayers...

I'm in this with you, my friend!

Love,
Lisa

I so feel your sadness and longing. I know you have probably heard it before...but once you hold Karleigh Mei in your arms you will KNOW that you waited for THIS child...and you will feel a peace that passes all understanding. Today I will pray for you and for the China daughter who will become your Karleigh Mei.

you know I thought of and still do think of Elizabeth's birth mother. The ache in your heart will one day be lifted as you hold Kaleigh, and yet her birth mother's will always be there. How I pray for these mothers of our girls!
