Why do we want so dearly to see the picture? It doesn't really matter what she "looks" like. The truth is that we have slowly begun to "see" this child over the past several months. As we talked about her, closed our eyes and imagined her, and even dreampt of her. Ah, but to see a photograph of her... does it speak a thousand words? You bet it does! For me it allows one to see her eyes, her smile, her soul...
I imagine as I look at this precious child that somehow she knows what lies ahead for her. You see, because that is what we have prayed for her - that she would know that we are coming to invite her to be a part of our family. To join the five of us- so that we can now be six. So that we can offer her something that she may have never received in her current life. The comfort, support and love of a family. Our hope is that it will restore her to what should have been for her from the beginning. She as an integral part of a family. A valuable child, sibling and friend to a household.
Gwen... you are invited to be just that in our family. As you join our family, you complete a miracle. A simple desire, realized. Gwen, we very much look forward to meeting you. I should think that we will bring healing to each others lives, and in the end - we will be the most blessed to have you as a part of our family.
Love Daddy - (Ba Ba)

What a precious baby girl! :O) (Any child under like 3 is still a baby to me. :O) I can't wait to see your new, expanded family picture. :O) What a wonderful new adventure Gwen has waiting for her. How precious that she can be transported from an uncertain future to a warm and loving home--complete with 3 instant siblings! How cool is that? I could barely contain myself as I read through the e-mail, and yes, after seeing the closing and realizing it was written by Daddy made it that much more special. Guys aren't always that good at emoting. :O) Yeah for Scott! :O) Congratulations, Liptaks! Soon you'll be holding her in your arms for that golden plane ride back home!!!!!
We rejoice with your entire family! Thank you, Father, for a perfect gift to the Liptaks and to us!!
