We were in line at the bank this week, and as I'm telling the teller that we needed two suckers, this sweet hearted boy started passionately saying, "three mama, three!!! We have to get one to save for Faith!" She isn't even here yet, and she is already very much a part of our every day lives. We all love her so much. It's crazy how much our family loves her already when we haven't even met her. Only God can do that.
We got an update on our girl. It said a lot of the same things, but it did assure us that she isn't in any apparent pain from her scoliosis. It also said she does not need heart surgery right now. She isn't even on her cardiac medication anymore. We also got a few new pictures and TWO videos. We have watched those sweet videos over a hundred times I know. She can walk and get around pretty well! It is pretty obvious she doesn't have stereo hearing and she will turn where she can hear with her good ear. All in all, she is absolutely precious, and we still can't believe she's ours! We are anxious to get her home and get her the help she so desperately needs!
Also, I need to add, she is a chunk! She is 7 months younger than Grant, already weighs the same as he does, and she's 6 inches shorter (mostly because of the scoliosis). It's nice seeing that you know she's being taken care of. Her foster mom still gives her a milk bottle in the middle of the night!!
Whoever doesn't believe in love at first sight has never seen their child for the first time. Whether through adoption or birth. It's crazy how similar the emotions are.
As far as the process goes, we are finishing our homestudy. It has been a pretty smooth process. We are fundraising like crazy still. We just finished up another fishing tournament that went pretty well. If all goes perfectly (hahaha) we could have her in our arms in December - 20 months after starting our process!!!
