In the spring of 2008 while Xia was preparing to meet her new family, Little Pei "Pay" was finally having her paperwork prepared for international adoption eligibility. But sadly, for the next two years...she waited. While Xia became known as Sydney and thrived in her new environment, Pei waited. While Sydney learned English and felt the love of a family,
Pei waited.
Finally in early 2010, her file was listed on the shared list. It was two years old and with her outdated pictures, older age, and shaved head...she was overlooked.
But she WAS noticed by someone. Someone saw her as more than just a picture or a "file" but as a daughter. Someone was longing for her and praying for her each and everyday. Someone wished for her to find a family even it could not be hers.
Someone also waited.
Several more months passed and it seemed hopeless that she would ever find a family, but then God moved mountains.
I am very thankful and blessed to say that Pei now has a family and they are working very hard to bring her home this summer. And the best part of all...Pei knows she has a family.
OUR FAMILY
