So very close.
So close I feel like my heart will crawl out of my skin and fly across the ocean and over a continent to find this one child.
So close it is hard to concentrate on the here and now because I want to peer into the future! The moment we get the referral...will we laugh or cry or shout out our joy? What will Matthew say when he sees the picture? How will he react? I want a glimpse of our first moments together...I want to know what it will feel like to pick up this little person and introduce myself as mommy.
The list is forming in my mind. Nursery, clothes, what to pack? Researching, wondering, hoping.
But afraid. So afraid to do anything, to change anything, to plan anything yet. Not yet. Not until we have the referral that says this one, this child.
Our dossier has been approved in Georgia.
Two documents are making their way around the world right now...two final pieces to complete the dossier. Then we wait for the referral.
