A letter

Dear China,

I know you are a very busy country with lots of going on. This letter from one lady in New Jersey, USA is probably not on anyone's top priority list, but if someone out there could read this and get back to me, I'd really appreciate it

My husband and I sent our dossier to the CCAA back in September of 2006. We have a log in date of October 27, 2006. We are very excited and anxious to adopt one of your beautiful children who has been left behind. We are grateful to you for allowing us this opportunity. The opportunity for me to be a mother, something I have only dreamed about. The opportunity to create a family and offer a child of the world so much love and security. When we sent you our file, we promised we would love this child as much as we would love a biological child. This has never wavered. Our entire extended family welcomes this child as well. Don't you worry, she will be taken care of. We have even picked a name for her. Lia-Rose. She is alive and living in our hearts right now. She is so real to us.

Dear China, can you please help me out here. What's going on? New referrals just were announced and we didn't get much further. In fact, we are still matching dossiers from late December of 2005. Dear China, that's a long long way from my log in. I am committed to this adoption more than anything in the world. I am changing my life to be more available for this baby and to be there for her whenever she needs me. Dear China, can you tell us anything? Can you tell us that things will improve? Dear China, there are thousands of families who wait as well. Some have families already, others, like me, only dream of this. Dear China, I promise I'll be the best mommy I can be. Dear China, can you help me start my family sooner? Can you?

Best regards,

Why do I have this strange feeling that someone in China will hear you??

KJ said...

I agree w Susan ... I do feel in my heart that someone will hear you ... at least I will continue to pray my hardest that they will. I love you.

I pray for a response! Today just sucked the wind out of my optimism again!!! My sister-in-law surprised us with a vist so I'm happy for the diversion today. Paperchasing has officially begun. Not sure your new work schedule so call me when you can.
