Today we are bumping over some more rocks in the road with the paperwork stuff… Whenever the ride gets bumpy in our adoption journey, I like to remind us of Jonathan’s dream. Sometime back in early September, as we mentioned in the story, Jonathan had a dream where we were together as a family climbing over rocks and hiking up a mountain. The climb was difficult at times, but after a while we got to the top and we were united with Hope, and we were all hugging and kissing and rejoicing. It’s a simple dream, but it’s so encouraging!
So we were talking about the rocks that have fallen on our path today, and I reminded us of that dream again. Then Kimberly remembered that Jonathan just told her the other day about another dream he had. In this dream, we were all in a car and were travelling down a road in China. He said there were Chinese billboards and writing everywhere he looked. He said he noticed that it was cold and overcast outside. Then we got to a hotel, or some hotel-like building, and he said, “I can’t believe we are about to get baby Hope!”, and then he woke up!
Dreams are dreams, but I like dreams. I especially like Jonathan’s dreams! 😉

Abigail just had a dream last night too that we were all (the 5 of us) eating at a restaurant in China, about to get Hope! 😉

Hang onto those dreams! I hope those paperwork hurdles get easier to jump! Before you know it hope will be with your family! Elisa

Jonathan had another dream about a week ago where we were all together in China, standing in the parking lot of a store talking in English to a nice Chinese man. 😉

Jonathan had another dream last night where we were all in China with Hope. He and I (Todd) were holding Hope and I was holding her and she was kissing us a lot while Kim, Abigail, and Hannah were in a clothing store looking at some clothes!
