An Eye Into China

We feel so blessed as if we are seeing into Susi's life right now. A family who is using the same agency we are using was in China this past weekend picking up their daughter. Their daughter was in the same orphanage as Susi. They visited the orphanage and was able to love on Susi and as if that were not enough they took video and pictures for us. We got to see them the very next day. This is amazing to us! Through all our adoptions we have never seen our kids in real time and we never got a personal report on them as it was happening. God just bridged a huge gap, we felt like we were so close to her. My heart ached more than it has since we started this process. I wanted to be there playing ball with her. I wanted to be the one snuggling her. But I am grateful for the glimpse I got and I pray for my precious girl as I wait with a longing heart!
