Before you.....Now

....Before you I would have never read so much world news

....Before you I did not know what it was like to miss someone you had never met

....Before you I felt that a piece of me was somehow missing

....Before you I never imagined how much faith adoption takes

....Before you I didn't understand why God wouldn't say yes to another biological baby

....Before you I never knew or understood how many orphans were in this world

....Before I even know who you are, you are a part of my forever family

....Now I think of you every single day

....Now I pray everyday that God will help me conquer the anxious feeling around all of the uncertainty adoption brings

....Now I will do anything in my power to get you home

....Now I'm praying for peace in Korea

....Now I wonder what your birth mom must be feeling

....Now I want to thank her so much for the gift of you

....Now I cannot wait to meet you and be your mommy
