my little lantern: Story time: "I Wished for You"

Hi. I'm Sarah. He's Kevin. She's Hannah Claire. We're a family, blessed with our daughter via international adoption. Hannah was born and lovingly cared for in Taiwan, placed into our arms on 12.29.08, and things haven't been quite the same since. Hallelujah! On 9.2.11 we rejoiced when we received the referral for a little boy, nearly 10 months old, living in foster care in Taiwan. Our family is excitingly preparing for him to come home in 2012.

"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

Story time: "I Wished for You"

Last week Janalee sent me a very special children's book titled "I Wished for You" by Marianne Richmond. It's so beautiful that I wanted to read it to you. I treasure it, and hope that it's special to you too.

I shed a tear just reading the page on your blog, but decided to listen to the whole thing (just to test myself!) ;-) What a sweet story. I think Miss K just might need to grow her library.
BTW, very nice reading! Hannah is in for a treat. And I'm impressed that you got through the whole thing w/o choking up...I still have trouble reading some of Keira's books.

Wow... Janalee is really taking care of you. That is too sweet of a book. It is nice to have encouragement like that. I hope you get "The Word" soon so we can see the rest of that face that connects to that chin!!!
