"I want to get on a big airplane & go get baby Zane"

TODAY!
That's what Chloe told me today just right out of the blue. I gave her a hug and told her I did too. She said, "are we going tomorrow?" and I said "no honey not tomorrow" then she said, "is it going to take much longer cause it has been a long time Mommy". Yes it has Chloe.
I tried to explain to her that we waited a long time for her and then she said, "Did you cry Mommy?" absolutely, I cried. "Why don't you cry now, Mommy, don't you want baby Zane to come home now?" Absolutely Chloe I want Zane home more than anything else in the world, but he isn't going to come home 1 day sooner than God wants him too. "Well, I wish God wanted him home now, Mommy." Me too Chloe.
After that conversation with my 3 year old, it got me to thinking. I have got to stay focused on what's important, and that is God bringing our son home. He has brought us so far that I must not worry about counting the days till I600 approval, knowing when to apply for visas, wondering how in the world it will be to travel all the way across the world with Chloe & coming back home with 2 toddlers on that big airplane. I must remember that God has led us on this journey and He and only He will be the one completing it. Knowing that gives me a certain amount of peace. My job is to just keep praising Him for bringing our son home.
Thank you all so much for your continued prayers, keep them coming.

How about we call up 2 big airplanes, one to Guatemala and the other to Vietnam, and meet right back here in 2 weeks...sounds good to me!!! I am so excited for both of us, it's finally coming true for us, all those months of endless waiting we are hopefully soon coming to the end and maybe about the same time, how great would that be!!!!

Chloe, I want you to be able to get on a big plane and go, right now! I remember the pain of having to wait to bring our babies home, and I hope your wait is over soon! Carolyn

Still praying for you and sweet Zane! The wait is SO hard! My baby girl just started walking, too, and I missed it. Her eyes looked so sad in recent photos, sigh..I love her with all my heart and want to hold her so very badly. I just keep trying to trust in His timing...

Holy Cow Batman....what seems to be the problem with USCIS??? I haven't seen any approvals now again for a couple weeks. Just when they get it together, they let it all crash down again. We are praying hard for you to bring Zane home soon!!! I watch everyday in anticipation of your approval blog entry.
