Mary, who happens to also live in the St. Louis area, is adopting from Ghana! In fact, she is adopting through the same organization we are! There are only about a dozen of us adopting through this specific organization at present. Many are spread throughout the US, but I have been blessed to have another family so close!
Me, Adeline & Graham had a playdate with her and her little girl (who happens to be very close to the same age as Addy) a few weeks ago.
To sum it up in one word??? Refreshing.
Refreshing to meet someone on the very same journey we are on in this life. Refreshing to be able to sit and chat with her like old friends. Refreshing to have the opportunity to ask her questions. Refreshing that we will have children from the same area that will be able to be around one another from time to time and build more of a "community". Refreshing that she is just a bit ahead of the process and I have so much to learn from her. Refreshing that she is a Christian and prays for our adoptions, for the orphans. Simply, refreshing.
And, this week we found out that Mary has a court date in Ghana so she is traveling there April 1st. This is so very exciting. I am so happy she will finally be able to meet her little girl.
And while my heart is trying to remainn patient for God's perfect plan for our family, today my heart is smiling for my new friend.
It's a beautiful thing to see the blessings God gives you along the way.
And to end with a very sweet post Mary put on our Facebook group...(the feeling is mutual):
