Taeya I just stare at our timeline and remember starting this site for our family and friends about us becoming yours. I can't believe that we are just one milestone away from getting you!!!!! I am reminded very solemly that as excited as we will be to get the travel approval that is also the time that you will be told that you are leaving your foster family and that you are getting a new totally strange to you family. I cannot promise that it will be easy SiYu but it will be worth it. I won't know how to answer the questions of why you were first abandoned or why your foster family chose not to adopt you. I am sure that it is somewhere along the lines of them knowing that if there is a special family out there that chooses to become yours then that family would be better able to give you a super life with lots of abilities and not all the struggles that would start for you at 14 and never end... I am also sure that they loved you and it was an agonizing choice for them both to do so. I am sure that your foster family showed you love and care because of how you wanted them so badly in the video we have of you. I am sure that they will never forget you and that you have the personality to stay in their memories forever.
I found this poem for you today.... I love you SiYu and am just one more day closer to getting you...
KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
