A Cry to Korea

It is encouraging to know that in this wait there are people behind the scenes advocating for us.  I read that those with connections to the ministry in Korea are writing letters.  Many are praying - MPAK - Prayers for Children.  I appreciate the words of encouragement we receive from people at church and family and friends.

I wanted to share this excerpt from a letter written by an adoptive parent waiting like us for the process to start back up again.  It does a nice job of capturing what we feel.  It was sent to the Korean ministry of health and welfare.

.... I don't think anyone over in Korea understands what it means to fall in love with a picture and know, in your soul, that child was meant for you.  I think they see us as desperate people who just want ANY baby.  That's not the case.  I look at the pictures of my son and in my heart, he is our son.  I couldn't love him more than if I gave birth to him. If you understood.....I mean REALLY got it...there's no way you would make these parents wait even one more day.  Do you understand the thousands of adoptive parents out there who literally wake up thinking of their children?  Do you know that we wonder what our children are doing?  We look at what time it is in Seoul & HOPE today is the day MOHW will begin processing the EPs.  It is as if our lives are held hostages through this experience....

Maybe tomorrow will be the day...
