Tomorrow, Tomorrow


We told my little (now 6 year old) niece Madeline almost three years ago that we'd be bringing a baby girl home from an orphanage in China. Since that day, Claire has been close to her heart. For a little tender hearted lady like her, this whole process is hard to understand. A few nights ago, my sister took her to see the musical "Annie". Read the sweet comment that shows that the play made her worry about Claire. We are with you, Madeline. We want her home now, and we hope she doesn't spend too long in an orphanage. Amen girl, amen. We love you!

We're not sure which song best represents this adoption process:
"Tomorrow" or "It's a Hard Knock Life"

That was sweet of her. Sadly. Alexia has had the same fears/questions about orphans when seeing the same movie.
Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Precious girl!! I have a tenderhearted one too. She worries about Owen being in China too long.

I vote "Hard Knock Life"... at least, that's how I feel about it today. :) But it's all worth it!!!

Oh how sweet of Miss Madeline! Going to see Annie at the Fox was, and probably still is, one of my favorite memories as a child. I LOVED it!
I vote for this "Hard Knock Life" of adoption be over "Tomorrow, Tomorrow"!
Praying for Claire and her precious family today...
