To my little one,
I sent in our picture profile and birthparent letter to the agency today, which means that we are one step closer to you! I have been thinking about you so much lately. I truly can't wait for the day when I will meet you! I wonder, what will you look like? What will it feel like to finally be holding the child God has been preparing your daddy and me for? Even though I don't have answers to these questions yet, I do know for sure that you will be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen and that you will be instantly and forever loved. God has been teaching me so much about providing a safe, nurturing environment for you to grow up in and I am so looking forward to bringing you home! Know that I already love you unconditionally. I pray for you and your birthmother often. I pray that God will protect you and that He will guide your birthmother through this challenging time.
I have to admit that the impatience is really setting in for me as I wait to meet you. I know deep down, though, that I haven't met you already because the time just isn't right yet. God is working and I will continue praying for you as we wait on His perfect timing to bring us together. I love you so much, my little one.
Love and prayers,
Mommy

I am already crying, Rachel! Your letters are so beautiful, and as a reader, I feel honored that you would open your heart and journey up for others to read. Reject any criticism you think you might face by doing this ... this is a wonderful thing you are doing ... and you are going to help others who read your letters. They may not go to the trouble of commenting, but I know that God will reach the ones He needs to reach as you pour out your desires, frustrations and longings. I will make it a matter to pray for you and Seth and I so look forward to the day when you have some wonderful news to share! My brother and sister-in-law adopted and it definitely is a process, so don't lose heart; you have started out this journey on the right foot, and that is by asking our dear Heavenly Father for guidance - oh my - you are miles ahead of others! He has already chosen your little one, and you just wait -- He/She will be exactly as you ordered! :-) I am very, very excited for you and just wanted to take the time to tell you so! With anticipation, Deb Fitzwater
