Miracles
...We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.
But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.
Author, Kristi Larson

In our arms!
Our already-in-our-hearts boy
Once There Were Two Women
Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother
Two different lives shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star; the other became you sun.
The first gave you life; the second taught you how to live it.
The first gave you a need for love; the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent; the other gave you an aim.
One gave you up; it was all she could do.
The other prayed for a child and was led straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years,
Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?
Neither my darling, just two different kinds of love.
(Poem in the book given to us by the orphanage 1/21/08 with Ahn-Bao's important materials)

Waiting!
There is a little one waiting
There is a mom
and dad waiting
The little one knows what is
The parents know what should
be
And when 'what is' and 'what should be' become the same, There will be a
family
...Waiting no more!
