Mark the date May 11-2012 we have finally gotten over the hurdle of getting our documents to China. This is Brian posting by the way. I have to say that my wife has done such a spectacular job with all the paperwork. She has been on top of everything. I would be lost without her. We can kind of catch our breath as we wait for the next domino to fall in the process. It's difficult for me to imagine what it must be like for Jonah to have to wait all this time. He has been aware that we have been working on the adoption as far back as December of 2011. I think back to when I was that age (9) and remember how long it took for Christmas, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, summer break, etc...... to come around each year. It always felt like a lifetime while I would wait in anticipation for the upcoming event, whatever "it" was. Now I think of how Jonah must feel. He's been waiting since December already and still will have to wait another 5 to 7 months......At his age it must feel like forever...I just have to keep telling myself that God's timing is not like our timing. This time that he is apart from us, God, I'm sure, is using it to shape each one of us and to prepare our hearts for the time to come....In His economy it is a necessary time. That's the only way I can make the tedious and slow progress make sense to me. Hopefully, His timing is really fast....Also, it has been quite a while (2 months ) since we've sent him anything, so it's time for another package. This time he's getting necessities only........An Ultraman action figure and 2 packs of comic books. Exactly what every kid needs. Of course a loving letter composed by his mama will be in there as well......Toni knows exactly what he needs to here and she says it in a way only a mother could.
