Your nursery is adorable! I remember when my nursery was empty and waiting, I would go in there at night and rock and pray and hope and dream of the little ones that would one day fill my arms. <BR/><BR/>And when we had babies come and stay a short while, I wondered if the room would ever feel lived in. <BR/><BR/>When my son came home as a toddler, I rocked him that first night and cried- I cried for all he had been through in his first 16 months of life and I cried for me and my broken heart, longing for a child to call my own.<BR/><BR/>The nursery is gone now and my little ones are past the rocking stage, but what sweet memories I have of the healing God brought me through in that little nursery.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for you as you wait...Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502259594425550745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-66336248338852072052008-08-05T14:06:00.000-04:002008-08-05T14:06:00.000-04:00You will make the most fantastic mother!

I know 4 days in a week IRL - we adopted our girls at the same time; Jessica adopted a few months after us and we found Bri online as well - it's a small world! Hang in there on your journey - you are right, God knows "your child" and he/she will come at exactly the right moment.MommaJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813874972854704397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-19291698900465835462008-08-04T16:44:00.000-04:002008-08-04T16:44:00.000-04:00The sad thing is, many people out there that would...The sad thing is, many people out there that wouldn't, couldn't or shouldn't adopt any child, a child of another race, and/or a child with special needs. The important thing, I think, is that people are aware of their own limitations (both in birth and adoption!), and don't get involved in something they cannot handle.Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827049920771791750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-59245290407600279352008-08-04T16:28:00.000-04:002008-08-04T16:28:00.000-04:00Wow!

And, truly, who knew that there could be such long lasting effects to a 9month old girl. There were some issues physically, but the neglect caused some other issues tat we are still - and probably will for a looooonnnggg time to come - dealing with. <BR/><BR/>I LOVE this girl to pieces and would not change a thing about who she is. But I have to tell ya, I would give anything in the world to be able to have a conversation with my four year old girl. Her language and cognative ability is coming along, but there is a long road in front of us.<BR/><BR/>I am in NO way trying to discourage you - as hard as it is some days, seeing the progress come in huge leaps on others is an amazing experience that I would trade for NOTHING in the world! So vvery rewarding!<BR/><BR/>You guys are gonna be such great parents - I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you!!!<BR/><BR/>XOXOXOX<BR/>Becky Jobeckyjomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353794918193848933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-10377820408415401742008-08-04T00:02:00.000-04:002008-08-04T00:02:00.000-04:00So excited for this little baby Pinchback-to-be an...So excited for this little baby Pinchback-to-be and all the beautiful children to come after him/her.

Jason and I want so bad to save all the children in the world,but we know that is not possible for one family to do. One of my favorite statements...There's more than one way to build a loving family...Adopt!!!!! That is so true. We are so happy to be going through the WAIT process with you and Ben! I am not the most patient person in the world...so it can be hard for me to WAIT!!!! =) Everything in GOD's time!!!<BR/><BR/>"Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" Luke 1:45 (NIV)<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great night!!!Shelly Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108138167309617147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-12137502841596380862008-08-03T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-03T21:38:00.000-04:00it is very humbling to have GOD pick you to take c...it is very humbling to have GOD pick you to take care of a child, whether it is your own biologically or not.
