The Chosen Child

Longing for a child to love,

I'd wish upon the stars above.

In my heart I always knew,

A part of me was meant for you.

I think now happy we will be,

Once I adopt you, and you about me.

I dream of all the joy you'll bring,

Imagining even the littlest things.

The way it will feel to hold you tight,

And tuck you in every night.

The drawings on the refrigerator door,

And childhood toys across the floor.

The favorite stories read again and again,

And hours of games with make-believe friends.

The day you took my outstretched hand,

A journey ended, but our lives began.

Still mesmerized by your sweet face,

Still warmed inside by our first embrace.

I promise to give you a happy home,

And a loving family all your own.

A house you've now made complete,

With laughter, smiles and tiny feet.

A parent is one who guides the way,

Know I will be there everyday.

Rest easy as each night you sleep,

A lifetime of love is yours to keep.

Longing for a child to love,

I'd wish upon the stars above.

in my heart I always knew,

A part of me belonged to you.

Each day gets harder and harder to wait for Nathan, but I just keep taking comfort in Jesus Christ and his perfect plan. He has adopted me as his child. He chose me just as I am and loves me know matter what and no matter how weak my faith his. Thank you Lord!

Please continue to pray that our case goes FAST!! Even though we are given a timeline, God is far above any timeline. Pray that if it is God's will, Nathan will be home soon!!!! It would be such a blessing it we could get him here sooner then expected! God would definitely get all the glory because it is completely out of our hands.

Thank you sooo much for your prayers and support!!!!

Stephanie, Casey and Nathan
