little hopey went home this week to be with her forever mama.
having worked in the states with adoption/foster care i have been excitedly waiting to see the process unfold: getting to know hope for who God made her to be, loving her deeply, celebrating with the news of her being approved for adoption, getting chills when reading her mama's file which was immediately sent to us and then watching her bond, and go home with her new family, one that will love her and care for her as their own.
Mama Hope is a young widow who lives in the village who has experienced great loss. She has a lot of love to give and we immediately saw this love for Hopey when Mama first saw her. We are confident that Hope's love, cuddles, laugh and will share Jesus with her new family.
and though it was a very sad, emotional, day i am excited and at peace with knowing that Hope is with her family. which is all i want for her. but wow i will miss this little girl.
me with all my babies and aunties (minus one who was on her off)....
maybe this is God's way of spreading out the "goodbyes" and making it less heartbreaking for me in 5 weeks...eh, probably going to be just as hard. wishful thinking.
