2nd DNA charged


Only people adopting get excited when they see a random labcorps charge on their credit card!!! It means we are getting closer. Now we will be on the lookout for an email that says Lucia had the doctors appointment and will have pictures attatched of her getting her 2nd DNA taken. I can't wait to see new pictures of her. It has been way too long. WOW, this waiting for pink has been way harder than I expected. I thought we would just be in a state of bliss that she is legally our daughter and cruise in for an easy landing to the end. NOPE. . . not stressful like the PGN wait, but really hard. She is getting older everyday and we are missing her life. Not to menthion that the baby stage is my very favorite stage. The older she gets the harder the transition will be for her and her foster family. Christmas is such a special family time that we are all sad she is not here to meet family and experience the joy of the season with us. It constantly feels like something is missing.

At this time, I am asking for you to come alongside our family and pray for Lucia. We are thinking it will be about 3 more weeks until we go get her. I know it will be hard for her to leave her foster mom. She is the only mother she has known for 6 months. My heart already aches thinking that she will be sad. Please pray for her. Please pray that God will give her a love for us and that the transition won't be so hard. Please also pray for her Foster Mom and her three foster sisters as they prepare to say goodbye to Lucia. The sisters cry each time we come for a visit. It is going to be hard on everyone. I am so thankful for the way they have cared for Lucia.
I know that they love her very much and it will be very emotional for their family to say goodbye.

Darcy- we will be praying for Lucia and for the Foster family as they prepare to say good-bye. What a gift the family has given all of you. You have done such a good job at leaving Lucy with toys and MP3 players with your voices, and books with your pictures. Between that and your visits, she already knows you and loves you all.

I think they are angels watching over her (for just a bit longer) How great that so many people are involved in this young life, wanting the best for her. My Grandmother was a foster Mom and took in over 20 children during her later life ~ she kept in contact with everyone of them and she was such a God-send to them in their lives...forever. Of course there was an attachment and bond but remember Lucy has also started the bond with you and God has this plan and journey for her and you and Aaron and the boys. What a Christmas gift for her...and a tribute to her already that she has enriched so many in such a short time - perhaps she is an angel as well :)

Our prayers are with all of you.

much love

Darcy and Aaron - we will definitely be praying for both the foster family and the birthmother. They will always be a part of Lucia's life, and the love triangle that your three families have formed will be essential for Lucia when she is older. Not every baby is lucky enough to have three loving families who want the best for her! Merry Christmas and God Bless you on your final journey.

Love, Laura, Danny, Elijah, and Ava
