I find myself in this weird limbo.
I know Hui-Mei is ours and I know that we will be physically united with her sometime this year. Currently, the wait is living up to its reputation.
I wish there was a manual for how to navigate this journey.
I’d certainly read the chapter on “How to send your love across the ocean.”
I’d flip to the section on how to answer the “How many children do you have” inquiry from the casual acquaintance.
I’d study for hours the paragraphs on “Preparing your home and heart for the upcoming transition.”
I’m sure I would find inspiration in the pages about “Financing your adoption.”
The authors expert opinion on “Whether or not to give an older child a new name” would come in mighty handy right about now.
And the tears would flow reading about “The moment you meet your child for the first time.”
Even though I don’t have an official “How to” guide, I do know the author of this journey personally. And knowing Him gives me peace beyond all understanding.
