Eliana,
I can't even tell you how much your momma misses you! The last few days I have been working really hard to not be sad....but today it hit me. I miss you more than I could have ever imagined. I am so glad you have a sweet foster mom....but she wrote me yesterday to tell me that you were sad and missed us. Let's just say that your momma couldn't hold back the tears. I can't tell you what a gift of God you are to us. The Lord knew that we needed YOU sweet girl. You are our daughter in EVERY way! I love the way you laugh and talk. I love your dark hair....and beautiful big eyes. I love your sweet spoken voice. I love that you LOVE to cuddle. I miss having you fall asleep on my shoulders....you fit so perfectly there. I love that you are sassy....you and I are going to have so much fun shopping together someday. Your daddy can't wait to take you on dates....and have tea parties with you. We are really trying to make your room perfect....just for you. Please, dear Eliana, know that we love you with all of our hearts. We can't wait to bring you home. What a day of rejoicing that will be!! Until then, know that your mommy and daddy are praying for you constantly.....and that we feel so blessed that God has entrusted you to us. What a little bundle of JOY you are to us!!!!
Love you sweet thing,
Momma

What a sweet letter. You are going to be the most thoughtful, intentional, prayful, and FUN parents. It is so hard to have her so far away. There is nothing like the longing to hold your child so far far away. Praying for you and sweet Eliana. . .

Hey Lindsey and Chris,
It is amazing how we can learn so much more about God's love for us through children. You will find your love for her growing daily and realize that our Father loves us even more than we new or realized. We will continue to pray for yall and have enjoyed reading about your journey.
Sweet sweet letter...one she will cherish someday! :)
So, so precious!! The waiting is so hard!
