E-mail to Special Needs Coordinator 3/30/05

We were patiently waiting for a regular referral from China, when we felt lead to place our family on the “waiting child list” in case our little girl had some sort of special need-we didn’t want to miss THE ONE. This is the e-mail I wrote to the Special Needs Coordinator at our agency specifying who we thought she might be…

Dear Allison,

As I have been thinking, pondering, praying and wondering, I feel the need to be more specific concerning who our daughter might be.

We will still consider cleft lip/cleft palate, but I believe in my heart that the way we will know she is ours will be if she has cleft palate, but not lip( I know you said that never happens, if it does, how sure will we be?!), or an ASD/VSD or webbing of her fingers. Also, I think tongue issues or some sort of ear trouble may be a red flag to us that she might be the one. All the other things I told you yes on, we will certainly consider, especially if coupled with one of these.

I am the kind of person who likes to know who what when where and why, and I fret over everything. This adoption has been the most peaceful event I have probably ever experienced, in my spirit. I have known that we were supposed to do this all along, no questions asked. I have been patient in every step, completely one day at a time, totally a God thing. I tell you this because I don’t want you to think I am some kind of kook that things she’s psychic or something! I am just trying to share what I feel like God has placed in my heart and I think it might make your job easier-mine, too. I am still completely open to the possibility that we might stick around and recieve a referral with our group in Sept. or Oct. as planned. I just felt the need to share these thoughts with you, who may influence the makeup of my family.

It is really awesome to see God work in this, in my family and in my own heart. Thanks for being a part.

Sincerely,
Robin Pass
