Yup, I know I haven't posted in a long while. The thing is, waiting is the pits. It is rough watching the calendar days pass so slowly. Our hearts ache for Kai and there are days where is just feels that our Travel Approval will never come. We continue to keep busy, picking up things we will need for China and Kai. It helps to keep busy.
Kai's 1st birthday was this past Thursday. This day carries a lot of weight for us. January 14th will forever be a day of joy and thanksgiving for this beautiful little boy that we have been fortunate to call our son. This day also reminds us that many thousands of miles away, a mother and father mourn the loss of a child for which they could not parent. We therefore keep both Kai and his birth family in our hearts and minds each day. We send our loving thoughts to them across a vast ocean and mountainous terrain to the city of Nanjing. We wait for the son that we love so earnestly. We wait. What else can we do?
On a lighter note, we were very happy to receive some older photos of Kai this week. We suspect that he was likely 5 - 6 months old at the time. He looks cute as a button. We will post them as soon as we are able. They were sent to us in a different format and cannot be posted into the blog at the moment. We are hoping to scan the prints and upload them that way. He is positively precious.
waiting is the pits!!! for sure. but once you have him in your arms you have him for a lifetime and more!! hang in there
