Waiting children

Below is a link to the family that took pictures of my Josephine while I was still waiting.  Their Ivy and my Josephine are from the same orphanage.  This link gives a beautiful summary of their adoption journey to Ivy. 

I hope it touches families and gives them the courage to bring home their own waiting child.  When you visit an orphanage, you meet the children waiting....and the rows and rows of cribs and cubbies with their little picture taped to each.....with their little tooth brushes and cups.    All kids deserve a loving family.  

Here is the link :
