Do you Know?

 Do you know?

Do you know how much I already love you, how I look at your picture and long to hold you, long to kiss your sweet face and run my fingers through your beautiful hair?

Do you know how I think of you in everything I do wondering what you are doing, if you are safe, how you are feeling, if someone is comforting you when you cry?

Do you know that God put you in my heart and I already love you as if you were growing in my tummy, how I hate the idea of you learning and growing without me?

Do you know how I ache for pictures and word about you?  How I can fall more and more in love with each picture, and how I study EVERY detail of them?

Do you know how much I worry about your health, your muscles, your nutrition and long for the day that I can take you to doctors, therapist, and make you the healthiest foods just for you?

Do you know you have a sister and brother that are waiting for you to come play with them, a daddy that is waiting to tickle your toes and kiss your forehead and teach you to play ball?

Do you know how many people are praying for you each day,you are special and loved?

Do you know how hard each holiday is with you across the ocean and how I long for the day to spend them with you HOME?

Do you know how hard we are working to bring you home,that God loves you and will be with you no matter what and that he is bringing us to you?

Jeremiah's Birthday

We had invited a few folks to join us for Jeremiah's birthday last night but several must have forgot.  Aunt Pam (one of my dearest friends) and Uncle Mark did remember.  Here are some pics for yall.  PLEASE keep praying for funds to come in quickly and for exact dates.  I am told the person who schedules pickup and AIT is on vacation for one or two weeks.  not sure when she went on vacation but am sure I really want to know the exact date so we know what we are looking at and can get things scheduled.  I am battling being down because of money and such but I HAVE to remember that GOD IS ABLE!  I will hold on to that and WAIT on HIM TO MOVE the mountains in our path.

Happy Birthday Jeremiah!

March 29, 2008 at 5:37 PM an adorable little boy was born in Taiwan.  He weighed in at 6 lbs 1 oz. and was 19 inches long and went into fetal distress developig meconium aspiration syndrome, persistent pulmonary hypertension, shock lung, and periventricular leukomalacia all of which led to Severe Cerebral Palsy and Visual Dysfunction.  We did not know about our sweet Jeremiah then, but GOD did! :)  It is a miracle that Jeremiah lived.  When we read his medical records about all his tiny little body went through it tears my heart out and it lets me KNOW that God has a reason that this little boy lived!  I can't wait to raise this amazing child and see what God is gonna do with him!  Today marks Jeremiah's 2nd Birthday but it also marks a year since I saw his picture on our agency website and was forever changed!  We were NOT planning another adoption just yet but as always I am ever looking at waiting children and praying for them.  THIS time I could NOT get this little boy out of my mind!  I kept going back and forth to look at his picture and read the little bit of information that was on the website about him.  Finally on March 30th I told Bobby, we are suppose to adopt this little boy.  HE is our Jeremiah!  He was like not sure what to think!  After some prayer and discussion on March 31st Bobby told me to ask for more information so I got in touch with the agency to be sent the refferal infomation and so it began!  NEVER would I have believed then that on Jeremiah's next birthday that he would still not be home!  I thought then I would have 2 baby boys for Christmas, but fundraising has been much harder and slower with this adoption and it has taken so much longer than anyone thought.  I am so thankful that I can say that my son is spending his LAST birthday in his orphanage in Taiwan.  As I type his brother sleeps beside me and Jeremiah is probably taking his afternoon nap in Taiwan. Tonight we will have a family get together to celeberate the LIFE of Jeremiah!  The MIRACLE that he is even alive! and the MIRACLE that God is blessing our family with our sweet frogie boy!  We are so close to my bringing Jeremiah home!  If he were here we would be having a HUGE party.  My prayer for this day is that Jeremiah would feel love this day where he is and that God would somehow be preparing him for how his little life is going to change and that gift would come in today to help bring him home.  What better birthday gift than coming home to your family!  If you possibly can, please go to our 100 Good Wishes website and donate even $5 to help bring Jeremiah home!  And leave a good wish for him and a picture of your family for the virtual quilt. I will be printing all the wishes and pictures to put in Jeremiah's book :) 

Jeremiah, my sweet frogie boy!  Mommy is sooo sorry that you are spending a 2nd birthday with no family.  You HAVE  family little man, we are just so far away and you do not know we exist.  You have no clue the amount of love that we have been storing up to lavish on you when we are finally together my angel!  God is so teaching mommy so many things in this journey and HE is touching so many people through our journey to you.  God is bridging the ocean once again to bless me with YOU my baby boy!  I can't wait to hold you, to feel you close to me, to smell the scent that is soley yours, to snuggle against you and kiss and hug you and be able to massage your muscles and begin learning all I need to do to help you and to be the best mommy I can be for you.  My heart aches for you Jeremiah.  I never thought it would take this long baby.  Hang on tight my sweet frogie because I am coming as SOON as I can, but till I get there catch my kisses in the wind!
