Longing

From the heart of a mama who longs for her baby boy to come home ~
I had a dream last night that I was holding my sweet baby boy -- in this dream he was actually an infant, not the 2 year old toddler that we've seen in the pictures!  The dream itself was really weird (you know how they do that sometimes) but I was so thankful for that precious moment of being able to hold him. 

I feel so far away from him right now and I know he won't remember his mommy and daddy when we go back to pick him up.  However we pray that he "knows" us as his mommy and daddy, that he's not afraid, that we can comfort him despite the huge changes that are coming his way.  Our little toddler has no idea what is in store for him: that he will be on an airplane in a matter of weeks entering a different world, a different climate (average temp in Haiti right now is 83!), with new people (very white people I might add!) and a strange language.  At night we pray together and Caden and Cali have the sweetest bedtime prayers for their baby brother--they pray for his safety, his health, and his fears to be comforted.  They help us pray for the completion of all the adoption steps.  They are very excited and seem much more patient than mommy.  :)

This week we need 2 things to be accomplished:
1. MOI needs to give final approval and move our paperwork into passport stage
2. Ryan's background clearance needs to be finalized (mine was done last week) so our final revised homestudy can be completed and sent into USCIS

Please help us pray.  Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
