The people who are waiting with us
August 17, 2008
I wanted to use this post to have our friends and family post a note for Kati to read when she gets home to know who was supporting us during the wait.Our family has been so fortunate to have Great support and we are going to make this blog into a book to give Kati to understand how much she was wanted and planned for.I would love for her to know people were praying for a little girl across the world to come home.We appreciate all of the support.God has used new and old friends to come alongside us and this will never be forgotten. edit

The entire Cope family is waiting eagerly for Kati. We talk about her often at dinner and I pray for her safety daily. I have been friends with Lynn for over 11 years now and this is the most wonderful event. As I have been so excited with each pregnacy, this is just the same. I am so thankful to be a part of the anticipation and planning for Kati. I look forward to being very involved with her life. I am so anxious to hold her and for her to know the love her "pretend aunt" has for her.

Dear Kati,
If it were not for you, I probably never would have met your mother. You see, when your parents were deciding to adopt you, our family was praying about an adoption too. That is how I connected with your mother, and now I know that we will have a lifelong friendship. We are planning to adopt a boy from China and I hope that you and he will be special friends since you will have a lot in common. You are already so loved and you are being prayed for daily. We know that until you are in your mother and father's arms, God is holding you tenderly in his arms. Your family is so lucky that you are their daughter--we know you are so special and that God has a wonderful plan for your life. We cannot wait to welcome you home very soon!!!
Love,
Elizabeth Wood

Dear Kati,
We have loved you since the moment your mom and dad told us their plans to adopt you. We are looking forward to being able to hold you, love you and have you come to our house and spend the night with us!!!
Your adoption is a clear picture of how God picks each one of us and adopts us into his forever family. It is nothing we can ever earn or work for - He just choses us. Praise the Lord He has chosen you into our family. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.
We love you soooooo much,
Itty and Granddaddy

Waiting with your mom and dad for you to come home!

Dear Kati,
We can't wait to meet you! We have been so excited for your arrival, and are so happy that Julia is going to have such a sweet friend right around the corner! As your mom says, I know you two are going to be "BFF!" We are looking forward to meeting you, and watching you grow up!
Love, Lisa and Matt Costanzo
