Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true


One of my friends suggested that I blog (which I have never done) about our journey through international adoption, so here it goes....

THE BEGINNING

A few months ago, we started discussing adoption. We talked, researched, and prayed about it. (We were kind of leaning toward adopting a little girl from China. ) Then, one morning at church after praying about it there was a picture of a little Chinese girl on our church bulletin. A SIGN!!! Then, we meet up with two couples who have already gone through this. Seeing their little girls just made us realize even more that we wanted to do this. So, we then started the process. Dustin filled out the application and sent it to our agency. A few days later we were approved!!! Now, we are about to start our Home Study this Monday. Everyone has been really supportive about our decision. My mom is already wanting to buy some girl clothes. We will keep you updated as we continue this journey and blessing. We know there is a little girl somewhere out there waiting for us to bring her home to a loving mom, dad, and big brother.
