Waiting to add our last piece to our family
Scott (Daddy)

I just put Gray down to sleep and we said our prayers. We always start by telling God all that we are thankful for. We also ask God to protect Kati and the people that are taking care of her right now. It is incredibly emotional knowing that she is not with us now, but is being taken care of by someone else. We pray that she is loved and does not want for anything. We can not wait for her to come home to us. Gray tells me every night the things he wants to show Kati, aka, Kitty Kat. He told me tonight he will not call her Kati and that her name is Kitty Kat. I am sure that will stick with her forever. I imagine they will be very close and he will be very protective of her. He wants to bring her to Disney to ride the Tea Cups and Dumbo, but he calls it GUmbo.
There just feels like a void is in our family and I know Kati is the missing piece. We are waiting for Kati and can not wait to meet her. I hope we bring as much joy to her as she will to us. She is already so loved. It is hard to imagine how much you can love a child , when in fact, we have yet to meet her. I think the entire adoption process is very similar to the pregnancy process. God helps everyone to get ready by the slow and steady pace of it all. Soon, Kati will be coming home. edit
