The Face Of Grace...upcoming baby shower...


Each morning I start the day praying for my family and for little Grace to come home soon. Her little face mesmerizes me. I think I spend hours just staring into her beautiful little eyes. I am always wondering how she is doing, and what she will be doing throughout the day. I have enjoyed reading over and over again the report that we recieved from Holt. It tells us something of what her personality is like. I believe the foster family is really enjoying her alot. I anticipate her being separated from them and coming to America to her forever family that loves her so much already. I know this will be an adjustment for her, but she will feel our love immediatly! I can't wait to kiss her little cheeks and hear her giggle!! I have many people through the week ask me when she will be home. I just smile and say very soon we hope. My students in our dance studio are just as excited too. The little ones are always asking "Miss Tina is your baby home yet". In the beginning I had a little one ask why my tummy was not big. So it has been a blessing for me to be able to explain to them how special adoption is. They area really amazed by it, and I know it will touch them all in a very special way to be a part of it all!! Next week ...Some wonderful friends of mine are planning a baby shower for us before Grace comes home. I am sooo thrilled and excited about this. Im really looking forward to it and it is sooooo special to my heart. AFter Grace is home and a bit settled in, we plan on having a welcome home party for her so everyone can meet her.

Tina,
This is just so beautiful to read! I'm sure the waiting is getting quite intense at this point! I can only imagine. I know we are getting more and more excited for you to have Gracie home and so glad your students are too. We are really enjoying praying for you guys!

Your daughter is so beautiful!! & so sweet! You must be so happy to have her home with you!
We too are adopting from Korea & just received our referral about a month ago for a little 6 month old boy. I'm writing because I happened to notice the background in our referral photos are the same...not sure if our babies had the same foster mom or if the photos are taken at Holt, but thought you might be interested in seeing our referral photo to compare. Email me if you want at jviolettedesigns@aol.com for a photo of our little guy.
Best wishes with your little adorable little girl!!
