Letter #2

Dear Son,

I'm going to save these letters for you in a book one day. I am making scrapbooks for your sister and brother that include my pregnancies and their first year. I've thought about how you might feel left out because you wont have one of those. I am going to make you one too. I will include each letter I write before we bring you home, pictures along the way, and whatever else the Lord lays on my heart.

I think about you every day. I've had dreams of you. I pray over you. My love for you is growing each day as we go through our adoption journey. Sometimes it gets hard trying to go through all the steps we have to take until you are ours, but I always think of how amazing it will feel that amazing day when our agency calls and we see your picture for the first time. I've dreamed of what I think you'll look like and even be wearing and I can't wait to see if I'm right. My heart aches to have you home with us.

Your daddy melts my heart when he talks about "his boys" or "our sons". He says he can't wait to take you to tractor auctions when you're older and he's been getting more excited about moving along in this process.

Addison asks about all the time. She told me yesterday, "Mommy it is taking waaaay too long to get my new brother!" She says she hopes you're old enough to play with her and talk to her like a big boy. She said it's ok if you don't know how to speak English because we can teach you. :) Addison is very excited to ride with you on an airplane! (We are all excited about that because when that happens it means we are bringing you home.)

As your brother gets older, your daddy and I keep wondering if you'll be older than him or younger. No matter what your age, you'll be perfect to us! I know that Weston doesn't really understand yet but we are sure he will love having a brother.

Sometimes it's hard for mommy knowing you're out there. I pray each day that you're being loved on. I pray that somehow God brings godly women into your life to take care of you until I can. I pray that this doesn't take too long before we get to bring you home. I can't wait to hear you laugh and see you smile. I'm excited to watch you experience new things and play with your brother and sister. I love you so much already son!

Dreaming of you until we meet,
Your mommy
