"if a butterfly flutters in China"

click to enlargeDear Audrey, We have known about you since June 26th, 2007. In our prayers we have known about you since we started in February of 2006. We so want to hold you in our arms. We made a decision a few months into this process to seek out a special little girl. We were shocked when we got the call that you could be ours. You are so beautiful, you are indeed special. You are an angel, like our 4 other little blessings. Like them, you will become our life's work. You were left alone and you were found. You aren't alone now, but you haven't yet been found again until we are with you. You won't be alone ever again. Emma, Alena, Owen and Hugh can't wait to have their little sister here. Dune and Mocha (your labs) have been starving for scraps from a highchair for two years, they can't wait....well to eat. Your older sisters can't wait to share their dolls. The boys are fighting over who's room you will sleep in. 10yrs ago, November 1, we were married. A commitment for life. We knew we wanted a family, we didn't know how much our love would bring us to love even more than we thought possible. The more we open ourselves to our children's love, the more we can love. We hope to travel to you around that same time, the only anniversary gift, to hold you. We say our Novena to the Holy Spirit, to inspire those who control your fate, to bring us to you, so we can bring you home. It's a strange and different land but we will do everything to make it yours. Love, Mom and Dad
