Adopting is SURREAL. I’ve used this word several times over the past 16+ months because it truly is so hard to describe all the emotions that have taken place in my heart and mind throughout this journey.
I used to question how I could love a child that is “not my
own,” and I no longer question that. I am
so in love with a child that I’ve yet to meet but will finally get to wrap my
arms around her, He Tong (Jenna Jean Preston), tomorrow! Surreal…
I used to question how I could leave my biological children
for two weeks to travel halfway across the world to bring another child home,
and I no longer question that. While it
was VERY hard to leave Nathan and Andrew, I am confident that the Lord is with
them and He will watch over them while I am with their sisters…and I cannot
wait for the blessed reunion in two weeks when they can finally meet Jenna
face-to-face! Surreal…
There will be many more surreal moments over the next two
weeks while in China and certainly more once we bring Jenna HOME. But there is nothing more surreal than the
God of this beautiful universe adopting us as His children. TOTALLY surreal!
