Hurry Up China

Well before Thanksgiving we called our agency and asked if they had heard any word on our PA for Ryan. They said they hadn't and if they don't hear anything this week they will call China. I want to know already. I want those majic words. "You are approved for Dang Yue". I don't honsetly beleive that China would come back and say NO. We are praying and hoping that we get an answer soon. We feel that this is the little boy for our family. We feel that God has led us to him. We just wish they would HURRY!!! So for the mean time. I guess no news is good news. I found the following poem on another mother's site and thought I should share it.

My waiting child
I was not there the first time you laughed. I missed the first bottle, I missed the first bath. I did not witness your first steps. You’re growing so big without me. I hope I will be there to teach you to trust. You'll learn to speak my mother tongue. You won't be adopted when you're young, but you'll know the love of a family. God has not forgotten every tear you have cried alone, my waiting child. And I have not forgotten that you are there. My days would be empty without you. Amy Heymann
