We received the long awaited news yesterday that our baby girl is now in Addis Ababa! That's a big step towards bringing her home. For one, it's a great care center, and they have access to more medical tests, etc. if needed. On one hand, I'm really happy, but on the other I'm sad for her. I can't imagine her leaving the only caregivers she's known for the LONG ride from Durame to Addis. I'm praying for her daily that the transition will be smooth, and that she will not feel afraid or alone.
As excited as I am that we are now 4 weeks away from leaving to see her, I grow increasingly sad that we will be returning without her. But, I know that God has a plan and His timing is perfect. He knows when we will all be ready to be united as one family. Until that day, we continue to pray and prepare for our new addition.
Sweet dreams my little one...
WOW! So exciting!
