Merry Christmas everybody!
Just a quick post for the Christmas season
Well, we were really hoping for some encouraging news/update and perhaps even an early Christmas gift this year, but once again it comes with more delays. We did get an update from our agency, but there wasn't a whole lot of new info. There are a couple of dates set for earlier in the new year that will hopefully help solidify more of the process, but at this point nothing has changed regarding the delay. So without going into further details, I’ll keep it as short and sweet as that.
Yes, we and other families in waiting (along with family, friends and many of you) were truly hoping for greater news this Christmas - anticipating the end of the delay and soon bringing these children home. Once again our little guy or girl isn’t here with us and their spot around the tree remains empty. The past few years we’ve put their stocking up at the fireplace along with ours and once again it remains empty. There is a void in our hearts as we long for that day; however, we are grateful for friends and family to spend the holidays with.
So with that said, that’s it for an update. We wish they were here with us this Christmas, but we know and trust that day will soon come. We put their stocking up again but thought we’d put something in it after all. We also put a candle above it to represent our baby. On Christmas morning we will light it as a symbol they are here with us. (pic below)
Merry Christmas everybody. God bless!
Merry Christmas little one. We love you!
