Grieving

Thursday, July 26, 2012
We think our baby may be grieving now, grieving the loss of her foster family. She has had three major crying spells now where she is unconsolable. Unfortunately, this is part of the process. At least we know she was loved and attached to someone. We can tell she is beginning to love us and is attaching to us, but this doesn't keep her from missing her foster family. Please keep praying. We know this will pass.

Today we went to Qingxiu Mountain Park. It was beautiful. Tomorrow we fly to Gaungzhou for Mia's medical exam and visa. We've enjoyed China, but we are all getting to the point where we are ready to go home.

    I'm so very sorry for her grieving. It's so hard. Our Emma thank goodness never had to deal with grieving, she was in a orphanage all her little 1 yr of life. I can only say, it will get better - it's just going to take some time and she will come around. God Bless her little heart. Praying for you and your sweet baby girl.

    Hi Guys!
    You are getting closer to coming home! I am not surprised that Mia is grieving. It's to be expected, I would think. It may even speed the process of the transferal of her affections to her new family. She has been through a lot, so we are praying that God will supernaturally and mightily intervene on her behalf, spirit, soul and body. That He will keep his hand upon her and do for her what no person can do. We love you all and look forward to when we can see you face to face. Blessings, Laura PS...the goldfish are amazing. Like the carp in Lake Lou.

    I remember those scenes as if it were yesterday, not almost 7 years ago, It is a beautiful park.

    Congratulations on your little Guangxi beauty. A little thing I have learned. They are VERY strong willed!34

    Today Maggie was giggling and I once again thought about you guys. You are in for so much joy. (i'm sure you are experiencing that joy already!) We will continue to pray for the transition. It's hard on a parent's heart. Hang in there, you'll be home soon!
    And I have a few trainer cups for Mia!
