Only 3 more days until I hold my baby! I cannot believe it, it seems unreal to me after all this time. My mom and I will fly out of New Orleans on Thursday and my baby will be brought to me at our hotel early Friday morning. He will stay with us the whole time, and then our attorney will come to pick him up and take him back to his foster mother on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. We plan on having breakfast with Dominick's wonderful foster mother and her sister on Friday morning. I'm so excited about meeting her, I've heard such great things about her and she just loves Dominick to pieces. Hopefully the waiters at the restaurant in the hotel will help with translating our conversation. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel I have such a connection with his foster mother for loving him so deeply and being his first "mommy".
I have packed five blank 60 minute video tapes to capture all those moments I will treasure for the next weeks while I wait for him to come home. Hopefully 300 minutes of video will be enouph...but I guess I'll never really have "enouph" of him. I found a poem I'd like to share with you.
Waiting
I haven't met you yet or seen your face,
but in my heart you hold a place.
My hopes grow with each passing day,
even though you're miles away.
I know you're there waiting for me,
as I am here waiting to see,
the child God has sent from above,
to make me a mother and share all my love.
