Coincidence????

When your an adoptive family waiting (and waiting and waiting) your mind can tend to wander (and wander and wander) about the most random things. So I ask you this....
Is It A Coincidence or Meant To Be????
Yun-jeong was born on Feb 1, 2010. That day seemed so familiar to me and then I figured it out. I went back through our saved emails and found that on Feb 1, 2010 we received an email from our agency informing us that their Korea program was reopened. That night Joe and I had a conversation about starting the process again....and at 9pm Feb 1, 2010 we emailed our agency and started the initial application process for our second child. Little did we know that the very night we decided to expand our family, our daughter was born!!!! As we were filling out paperwork with hope and excitement, her birthmother was giving birth and saying goodbye. On Feb 1, 2010 we said yes to adding another child to our family, and she had just been born.
A Coincidence or Meant To Be????
Today Yun-jeong turns 14 months old. My heart aches for a child I have yet to meet. I love her so much already and I have never even touched her. The other night Joe and I were talking and I made a statement about "watching the KIDS play in the back yard" He got this funny look and said that sounds so weird KIDS...but we are the parents of 2....one is turning 14 months today and just a world away. And we know that she was truly Meant To Be!!!!
