I wonder how many blessings you've counted since you began the adoption journey. Interesting how different people respond while they're waiting for God's answers. It's right in line with His will that you count these through the tough, long wait. It will make her coming home so much sweeter because your hearts are prepared. You are an example to all of us :)
