We had seen your brother's picture the day before and we were praying hard that the director of our adoption agency would find our second baby in the few days she had remaining in Ethiopia. Many of our family and friends were praying this for you too. And God answered our prayers.
Mommy woke up on December 6, 2009 and opened up my email with hope and anticipation. Even though it was a Sunday morning and we would be headed to church, daddy had gone out to a coffee shop to study. (Your daddy is an early riser!)
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw what I was hoping for.
she may be up to 2 months oldThat was all I was allowed to see until your daddy got home! But it was overwhelming. Our baby! And she?! We thought for certain you'd be a boy! We were so thrilled to have a son AND a daughter!
Your daddy rushed home and we opened up the email to see your beautiful face. It was love at first sight.
We called your grandparents, aunts and uncles, emailed friends, and printed you and your brother's pictures to bring to church with us. Oh, sweet girl. How we loved you from the start! We were so very excited to meet you and hold you. Praise the Lord that He has given us the privilege of being your parents. There's no little girl we'd rather have than you!
