I don't even know you yet, my child. I don't know what you look like, smell like, how it is to hold you, cup your face in my hands, and kiss your cheek. I don't know the ringing sound of your laughter. I haven't looked into your eyes and witnessed your soul. I haven't held your hand or dried your tears. I haven't danced and jumped and tumbled across the living room with you, laughter floating through the air. I haven't snuggled up cozily on the couch with you and Daddy, the three of us under thick blankets taking in what it is like to love under cover of contentment. I haven't watched your personality form into the unique you....the only you in the world. How I long to meet you, even if it is only from across a distant field. I would look out into the barrenness and stand there waiting for your eyes to cross mine, waiting for you to be ready to receive me. There would be no running, but an inching forward, a trust building, a readiness making walk toward one another. And when you are ready, I am here to hold you my child, because even if I cannot see you with my eyes in this moment, it has been a long while waiting for you with my heart. I can wait a bit longer for the ONLY you.

 

Will you my friend, family member, colleague, or loving stranger support our adoption to Colombia?

Support us in prayer. Support us with encouragement. Support us with a donation.

 If only 320 people give $25.00, it will be enough to get us to the next stage in our adoption.

Thank you for your support!

Love,

Tamara & Ahmed Aquino
