Each post was so well written...Dear Steph and Sara,<br />Each post was so well written and we are deeply touched, could not read while we were on the cruise. Now we are in Orlando, FL. It was past midnight, although we were very tired, but could not stop reading. at times, tears were rolling down our cheeks when we read Li Lin was going through emotional roller-coaster, she was missing her "grandma and grandpa" so badly. Then we rejoice when she was playful and even picks up English "one at a time". She is such a cutie! and definitely she is very bright and lovely.<br /><br />We love the picture when she slept on Steph- her Baba and we love Steph's prayer over her. We are glad to know that Sara is able to utilize her Mandarin in ordering food and communicate and build up bonds with Li Lin. It is also great to know the parent-born kids are having deep empathy and love on their adopted little sister-Li Lin.<br />Pray that Li Lin will be quick in finding her new love and comfort in her new and permanent family. Pray that Steph's prayer will be all answered by our gracious father.<br /><br />with love, Allan and LucyAllan and Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985518333682767675.post-53510744448131901862012-05-10T19:33:42.726-07:002012-05-10T19:33:42.726-07:00Awww, sweet Li Lin - I am emotional after reading ...Awww, sweet Li Lin - I am emotional after reading your post... thinking about how much this beautiful girl has come through, how much she has lost in a moment. You are all doing wonderful, given the circumstances. Praying so hard that the Lord will heal her broken heart, through your love, just as His love healed our broken hearts when we were adopted into His family.<br /><br />No words can describe these moments - I know how emotionally exhausting it can be, and yet I know you are given an inner strength to work through these times - praying for you all.<br /><br />Jillthe meaklimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125408251393399758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985518333682767675.post-24468973167875446212012-05-10T18:11:33.492-07:002012-05-10T18:11:33.492-07:00All the difficulties will pass become memory.

Your writings tell me Li Lin already knows and feels that you are special.Yet in all hurts there are periods of pain, discomfort, adaption and acceptance. Your being there patiently loving, caring, cuddling, laughing and even crying give Li Lin a beautiful and solid base to hang onto for now and in the future. I wish you HIS peace of mind and heart and patience but it sure must be hard on the human side. Again many prayers.

Though different situation completely, we have adopted internationally before and the grieving for the past...embracing the future is a tough hurdle to cross. Clearly she was very attached to her caregiver which is such a wonderful sign. Her bond with her signifies she can bond and will eventually transfer it to you. Though it's hard to see this is a great thing in the right-now.

Roller coasters tend to work overtime. This too will come to pass. Eventually you will have a well adapted, obedient little impish girl. She will soon take her cues from the other children.... the beauty of having them first. <br />My prayers continue for you and yours... for continued love, wisdom and patience as well as more energy. I am sure that you are exhausted. Hang in there dear ones. God is with you. I cry for LiLin and also for all of you as I realize how difficult and heart wrenching it can be.
