I remember this page Cindy - it is one of the most poignant I have ever seen, I love the vellum over the photo with the journalling and Oh what wonderful journalling, we all have doubts and fears about parenting but I would have none about you being the most amazing mom, you have such a kind and sweet soul, thanks for sharing such a personal lo :)

ANTICIPATION

This layout was done a couple of years ago for the big contest here - my hubby and I had just started the adoption process but unfortunately it didn't work out for us but I still have the same feelings that the journaling states just waiting for God to bless us with children His way.

Journaling Reads:
I am a Mother without children. I long for the day when I'm called “Mommy”. I long for the days of nurturing, teaching, loving, playing and sharing parenthood with my husband. Bruce, and I have waited 10 long years for our miracle child and are so happy to have begun the adoption process and know that our dreams are about to come true. Now my days are filled with dreaming of what gender my child will be. What my child will look like, what will they sound like. I look forward to the sounds of a child's laughter filtering through our home. Some days I have feelings of inadequacy, as I'm sure anyone who was about to become a parent experiences when expecting the arrival of their first child. Other days I'm so confident and happy I feel like I'm walking in the clouds. We praise God for the blessing that awaits us, the day when we become parents.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, our dreams of adoption fell through, so we never got to experience being parents, but know God has plans for us and feel in our hearts that even though we don't understand His plans are bigger than us.

Thanks for looking!
