We thought that we would get to Skype with Melissa tomorrow. We won't get to Skype until next week but Melissa will still have her counseling session tomorrow.
I realized just this week how much the process of adoption is like being pregnant. We have two bio children and I remember coming upon the anticipated due date. For Melissa that would be April 19th. We know it could happen sooner or later, but that's around when we're due and we are so excited as the date gets closer.
I remember with our youngest daughter going in to do those crazy 4D ultra sounds, well for us that is comparable to our first Skype session with Melissa.
In the same way that I saw my babies for the first time after giving birth and wondered, "How in the world can you love somebody so much that you don't even know," I see Melissa's pictures and videos and think the same thing.
The time is drawing near, and God has taught us so much in the waiting. He really is an amazing God!
