Nothing is ever entirely easy, but you are so sensitive to this little one's needs that you'll undoubtedly meet every challenge head on. Good luck during this final wait, and here's hoping you meet her very, very soon. The fact that you question and think means you’re up to the challenge.

I can feel that air of looking down the tunnel, waiting for her arrival, not knowing quite what to expect. I can appreciate holding the door open for who she is, who she might be. Even waiting, this feels very good... I'm adding some deep breaths to that quiet expectancy. Good journeys to all of you. So many questions.

Try not to second-guess yourself. You guys will be great parents to this little person. You can do it, most certainly. Try not to second-guess yourself.

I hope that you can find out more info about your daughter. We were able to learn a few more things when we were in China, so hopefully you can too. Good luck! And as far as being what she needs, I have no doubt your family will do great. Congrats on deciding on a name. I hope that you can find out more info about your daughter.

This seems like such a central question of ALL types of parenting. Though I try hard to be the parent my son needs, some of it seems like luck, since kids can need such opposite things, and you might never know until years after the fact. “Can we be what she needs us to be?”
