Noah,
Hey buddy! I know it's your birthday Monday and I'm terribly sorry I won't be there for it. I sent you a present and YouYou will give it to you when she comes home. Please know that Mommy and Daddy love you very much and wish more than anything that you were home for this, your fourth birthday. You are getting so big and I am so very proud of you. I miss you more than any typed word could ever express! I love you and I'll see you in 4 weeks.

Oh, my Mia,
My beautiful Mia! What a blessing you are to us already! I know you have been missing Mommy lately and I'm sorry I can't be there to hold you when you're sad, to pray for you when you don't feel well, and to play with you when you're looking for fun. I promise I'm praying everyday for you to be able to come home soon and if there is one thing I know it's that we serve an awesome and faithful God who wants you in our family. So Mia, you pray too and I know God will bring you home. I love you and I'll see you soon.
Sweet Hope,
I'm amazed at your beauty. When I see your smile it literally brightens my day. You are so special to me! I know that you are not as aware of whether you are "home" or not but I am. Mommy and Daddy are working on your room that you will share with all your sisters. I can't wait for the day when I will see you in it. What a big girl you will be sleeping in that big bed. I love you baby and I'll be with you soon.

I am so sorry that your are missing them so much. I wish they could already be home with their forever family. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you. Stay strong, and know I will pray that the next few months will pass very fast!
I can`t wait for that moment either Mom!!!!!
Mommy, the love you show me while you're here stays with me even when you're gone. I know that I will be home soon, but You You is watching out for me while you are gone. I can't wait to be home to cause a little trouble with my brother (and I'm sure Daddy will help). I love you!
It is hard when you're not here, but I will see you soon. I've colored you some more pictures, but I might have gotten a little out of the lines. How is my Papa? I am fine. Noah made me cry the other day, but that's what brothers do. I will see you soon. I love you Momma.
I miss you holding me, but I will see you soon. I smiled today for you. Mia helped me color a picture for you, but then I ate the crayon. It wasn't good. I can't wait to try a happy meal, I've heard so much about them. I love you and will see you soon. Will you bring me something pretty?
ok, I don't know who did this, but thank you!! It brought tears to my eyes!!
Beautiful children. It sounds like you are close to having them home. I am in first legalization-- along way to go! And after meeting them last month, it's worse! Hope you can have them in your arms soon.
I don't know what touched me the most...Michelle's beautiful words for her children or "their" words to her. I'm all choked up!
OK! Someone is REALLY trying to me cry!...That person is Succeeding!
Ok...Let's try this again. I deleted the above comment because I didn't "proof" it & it had quite a few errors in it.
Just in case anyone is confused by the 2 back to back Kathy posts earlier I want to clarify who's who. The first post was by the Kathy who lives in Florida & is adopting children from another orphanage. The second post was from me...you know...ME :o)
Michelle,
I found your blog through April Salvant's blog and have really enjoyed reading your posts. This one made me cry because I know what you are feeling. My husband and are in Parquet and waiting to bring our daughter home from Haiti too. We miss her so much and pray for her daily....I pray that your Noah, Mia, and Hope will be home with you soon. (Hope is the middle name we have given our daughter).
Blessings to you and your family,
Lisa Wells, Lexington, KY
