the one with the dream

in february of 2006 I had a dream...I was getting off an airplane, and at my side was a little girl with shiney black hair about shoulder length.  she had olive or light brown skin, dark eyes and she's holding my hand. she has on a dress with little flowers on it and a ribbon around the middle, tied in a big bow in the back and a white sweater. she is wearing a little backpack.

she is adopted, from where I don't know, but we are greated with lots of people as we get off the plane.

that's it.  I woke up that morning feeling like this was a message from God!  so I started looking into it.  I looked to guatemala, feeling strongly she would come from there.  I read books and searched the internet for information.  I was nervous to talk with brendan or family at first.  when I did approach the subject finally with brendan months later and then more seriously a year later, I got pregnant.  clearly God said wait.

as emma grew older I again felt the tug of my heart towards orphans...and again, I got pregnant.  clearly God was saying...not yet....
