Well we find ourselves on our journey 4 years going on 5 years now waiting for Jailyn. Boy we never bargained for the wait to be so long. We had a blessed holiday with family not the norm as Katie and Billy spent it in New Jersey with Billy's family and Scott in Japan. So we celebrated with both sides of our families on Christmas eve (Thornbury) and Christmas day (Mike and I in the morning and the Comleys that afternoon. And then with Katie and Billy after Christmas. We will be mailing a Christmas care package once Scott is settled and we have an address for Scott in Japan. We believe this next year will tell mid year if we will get Jailyn in 2010 or now into 2011. The website did move 3 days late in December and now they are finally into April 3, 2006. Rumors are that they will finish April this summer and onto May and then June later in the year or early 2011. I question this time frame as usual and feel it can not get any worse finally. I lost it before the holidays with the reality upon us that Christmas 2009 just may not be our last without Jailyn that we may have to go another Christmas. It brings such sadness and tremendous grief as the holidays are about Family. Family is the desire of my heart to call my very own. I want my own child with Mike to love, raise and guide and give the wings she needs for a happy life she is so deserving. So many blessings to be thankful and grateful for the life we share and not to look at what we do not have at this time that feels so unfair. So why us I have asked so many times that I have turned to why not us .....Gods plan is bigger and better than we can comprehend and imagine as HE WILL GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS. So bring on the abundant life in store for us this coming year as we prepare for the greatest journey of life to pick up Jailyn up in the Republic of China. Our hearts are open and full love for each other and Jailyn as she will be joining her forever family sooner than later.
Happy New Year and God Bless each of you who follow our journey.
We love you!
