My Turn to Write

It is Julie here.  Thankfully, Will has the gift of words and is much better at telling our story than I am.  But I wanted to write from my experience yesterday, so I would not forget.  Thank you all so much for your encouragement.  It truly has helped us through this journey.  Yesterday was wonderful and hard with the full range of emotions.  Grace was blessed with the most amazing foster family.  In God's goodness, she was child number four in that family.  Her foster mother said she was such an easy going baby which will help her jump right in to ours.  Her foster mother is a christian and told us she prayed for Grace during her bottle time.  Grace was also her first foster child and she told she prayed more for Grace than she did for her own children. She had a special bond with her.  Grace and the children also had a special bond.  We received a book of Grace's first few months of life.  There were many pictures of them holding her, playing with her and loving on her.  Grace's face lit up when she looked at them.

She has cried alot and has bouts of sadness as we know she is grieving the loss and change.  Pray that she will be able to heal and attach to us.  She also has a little cold and I don't think she feels 100 percent.  We are off to explore the city because we noticed yesterday she really enjoys the hustle and bustle outside.

With a full heart,  Julie
