Last night when Daddy and I were studying our adoption education course we learned about Attachment and Bonding. We learned that attachment is "the reciprocal, affectionate enduring emotional bond between individuals." and bonding is the process in which attachment is achieved. This is something that I've never though much about, because its usually something that just happen's with children and the their parents from the time they are infants. Like with your sisters, we took care of their needs and showed them love and affection from the very beginning.
We learned that this is something that is very important that we are aware of when we bring you home. That is may be really tough for you to understand what a family is all about, and that you can trust us to be there for you always. As we were studying last night I just kept having the thought that everything will be okay. I know that it will be a process and that it will take time, but I just feel like it will work out. Heavenly Father will help us through any challenges we may face, he will guide us and bring us all together. We need to trust in His plan for our family.
I spent a few hours brainstorming fundraising ideas today. I have a few things up my sleeve, but would love any ideas anyone reading this may have. Soon I will write about the costs that are involved in an international adoption like this, that is a big piece of the pie. I just have faith that it will all come together, because you know what girl, YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
There are so many people that are praying for you and for us. Many have been praying for a long time that you would find your forever family. Those prayers have been answered and many more will be throughout this process. You are a child of God and he is very aware of you and your situation. He wants more than anyone for you to have a loving family and the life you deserve, the life you were sent here to live.
Love Mommy
P.S. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE DONATED TO VICTORIA'S FUND! We know times are tough for many of you and we appreciate every penny.
I'm working on some ideas for a Victoria Bow and a RR bow. I have a few things left from the Christmas Warrior Auction I held for her left I'll send to you and you can use those if you'd like. I also make tutus, bow holders and things I'll be happy to donate whatever I can to help get Victoria home. I've prayed so hard for it.
