Unbelievable! I have thought of this moment for quite some time… the day that it becomes official. The point of no return so to speak. The day we are officially placed on the Korea waiting list…. when we know for sure that what we’ve been waiting for will eventually, certainly come to pass. We are now officially HSTK!!!! And what better day to get this great news than on our wedding anniversary.
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!! God is so good!
It is amazing to think that somewhere, at this very minute, a beautiful little person who will one day call me mommy, is sleeping, eating, or playing….not yet dreaming of his one day forever family. Having no idea that in a few short months time his whole world is going to change (for the better, I pray), and that even while he leaves so many firsts behind, he will be journeying into a whole new world of firsts.
When I think that he has probably just celebrated his very first Christmas, and will soon be celebrating his very first New Year… even though it is without his mommy and daddy, I know it is with someone who loves him dearly; someone who will make it as special as they are able, with much love and affection in their hearts. Thank God for those amazing Holt foster moms.
HSTK may just be four small letters to some…and there may be many of you who don’t quite yet know what those letters mean. But for most of us it is the confirmation that we have made it to the halfway mark. Knowing that we are officially on the waiting list… and it is the unspoken promise, that someday soon – two weeks, two months, or even two years from now, our baby will be home in our arms.
Now we wait….for our baby to find us, and for us to find him.
Congratulations!!! I hope your wait is short!
