So Sherry, Macy-Lin's mom e-mailed me some more photos. I am sorry to post more of her crying, but I get such a kick out of Sophie. Look at her hands on her hips and the face she is making at Hannah. I just think she is such a hoot! And btw- that is Macy Lin in the yellow jacket. She is only 22 days younger than Hannah!



Yup... still funny!

















Sherry shared with me that the woman is indeed her Foster Mom. And that she was very sweet. I have also heard that she was very sad. Obviously, she is happy that Hannah has a "Forever Family," but I think meeting Zhou and the other girls, really hit home that this is really happening. And soon. I am so sad for her. Here is where our prayers really need to come into play. I hope that with all of our prayers, God will help to ease the sadness for her and to fill the void with hope and trust in our love for "her little girl." Ouch.. that hurts the heart!

Sherry also mentioned that Hannah was very shy. I know her foster mom did some crying and I am sure that came into play. That is why she looks so somber and reserved in the photos. My agency coordinator called to tell us to prepare ourselves, as this is going to be a tough one. Zhou reported that the foster moms are very bonded with these little girls and it is going to be super hard for them,for the girls and in turn, for us as well.

God bless her sweet little self...You can see in this photo that she seems to have no interest in being taken from her foster mom.


And much more relaxed in her Foster mom's arms. Obviously, this woman has taken great care to make Hannah feel secure and loved. That is so comforting, yet a little hard on the heart at the same time knowing how hard this separation will be for them both.








Okay. I just realized this post seems a bit of a downer. That was not my intention at all. There is so much joy in this process, but it is not without sadness. And that is okay.

So friends, pray, pray, pray! I have faith in the end, it will all be okay. I really, really do. But a few sad tears are most definitely going to be shed along the way to go with the happy tears. But I guarantee, the later will far out number the former!!
