I was reading a fellow bloggers post this morning and this verse was JUST what I needed to read today.
Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see!"
It has been 3 months today since we saw the most beautiful little girl's face. How I long to go and get her!!

I'm on day 54 it's just now really starting to bother me. I guess at first your busy getting all the final stuff ready then there's nothing but wait. Thanks for the verse :)Love ya.
Hi Jenn - It has been a while since I have commented, sometimes I just don't know what to say to help the wait feel more bearable. But, this verse carried us through the wait and to this day I still find 111 to be a sign...this morning my grocery bill was $111.19 and then I read your post - maybe good news is on the horizon:)
Can't wait to see her precious face.
Love,
Heather
I love that scripture too! I've been finding lately in my crazy life that "God is rarely early, but he is ALWAYS on time." Hang in there, it has to be coming soon!
I will always cherish that verse, and go back to it again and again as I travel this journey of life!
I continue to pray you have good news any day! Monday would be good! :)
Blessings,
Diana
Faith...it's a perplexing thing to me. It is God given and is what pleases Him all at the same time. Abraham had faith and it was credited to him as righteousness...he had faith as his son lay on the alter...he had faith and left his home for an unknown land...and he was a friend of God.
Rest in your faith today sista!
Good, unseen things are coming your way!

Praying hard. Thinking of you friend. I PROMISE you the wait is worth it, but I know I tired of hearing that when I was in the "thick" of it. Jenn, I am honored to call your friend! Les
Jenn,
Jumping in to introduce myself and share a scripture with you as you wait on your precious girl.
My name is Tina and I found your blog via sweet Susannah's blog, the day Susannah's prayer request "went around the world"! ( The news of Susannah was passed on to me by a military friend stationed in Northern Japan!)
I am absolutely drawn to your blog! One, because of the beautiful Kathryn Scott song, two because our families are extremely similar, three because like you I was caught in a "longer than normal wait" for my daughter, and four, because I think we live in the same town!
We brought our daughter Theadora Fu Xiao, better known as Teddi, home this past May. She is our fifth child, first adoption. Teddi will turn four in January. She celebrated her third birthday in the orphanage while we waited to bring her home. I have felt the ache that you are experiencing, and I am sorry. I do want to say that the gracious way that you are waiting, blesses my heart. Each day that passes brings you one day CLOSER to your daughter and you are celebrating God's goodness along the way.
Just like the scripture you posted, the one I want to share I found on someone elses blog. God showed it to me when I was really beginning to wonder if He knew what He was doing? Turns out He knew what He was doing, and I knew that He knew, but as a mama I got desperate at times. As Leslie, and (many others have said), the wait is worth it . . . but honestly, I really could have done without the wait!
This is really long for a comment, so I'll leave you with a scripture. I hope it brings peace to your waiting heart.
"For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment and will not disappoint; if it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late." Habakkuk2:3
And this is how The Message Bible says it ~
And then God answered: "Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what's coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn't lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Habakkuk 2:3
Blessings ~
Tina
(There is an email link on the side bar of my blog. I would love to hear from you. Praying for you and for your Karleigh Mei!)
Great verse....I read this the morning I found out I was pregnant for the first time, after trying for 1.5 years....God is faithful and one day VERY SOON this long wait will be worth it for us.
One day at a time Sweet Jesus....I can remember my grandmother singing that song and it is the truth. Live in the moment, don't worry yourself with yesterday or rush tomorrow. It will all pass and you will soon have all of this behind you and Karleigh Mei in your family's embrace! Remember that each day is a gift! Take care!
