Psalm 27:14 is a promise we have hung on to for so long. It says "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." We certainly have been waiting...some days we were strong, and others we fell on our faces in despair. But one thing we always knew in our hearts...this day would come. And it is here now.
Friends, we are beyond thrilled to tell you that at least one of our long awaited dreams is going to be fulfilled this year. We have been matched with a beautiful little girl from China!
We chose a Hebrew name that means "my joy", "happiness"....it seemed perfectly fitting. She will be called GILI NOEL KUERT. (Pronounced Gil'-ee, rhymes with silly) And she has already captured our hearts from just a couple photos. She was born on February 8, 2012, so is now just over one year old. She currently weighs about 16 lbs, and is about 66.5 cm tall. She is beautiful.
Roughly 3-4 months from now, we should be able to pick her up. What a day that will be!
We can't express how much your prayers and support have meant to us on this adoption journey. And it is hard to even convey our excitement, but we know that you are all right there with us! We love you all so much.
