Is It Optimism?

I had promised two of my boys yesterday that I would take them to buy them some Pokemon cards. While at the store, the boys and I took a detour into the baby girl department, each of us oohing and aahing over the adorable outfits. The boys wanted me to buy the little white onesie that said Little Sister on it, but being that I'm neither pregnant or in the active process of adopting, I just couldn't justify spending the money. Instead, we opted for this little bunny...



When you press its belly, it lets out the cutest baby laugh. It's girly without being obnoxious about it. It was my little leap of optimism in buying it.

The Dream Begins

We are not quite there, not yet having made the final decision to pursue adoption, but I am ready. I dream of it daily, I can see my Ethiopian daughter as clearly as anything I've ever hoped for. She is there and all we have to do is believe hard enough, work hard enough, hope hard enough, and she will be ours.
