Hi Sherri, Nadeem and kalina, I have been thinking of you all and your journey even though I've not written. I am so sorry for this challenge but as your blog says, there must be a reason for all of this. Just keep the faith, which I know you are, and continue the journey. I really believe you should be a writer and maybe you will be most helpful in sharing your experiences with other families that are contemplating adoption. Take care and know many people are thinking of you and praying for this journey to end with your return home. I can't wait to see that little angel. I told Ashley about this Kalina and your journey and she was so excited and said, "Sherri will be a neat Mom". I agree with her. Love to you all and I'll see you when you get home and settled in.

We met at the University of Georgia through our good friend, Anne. After dating six years, Nadeem and I got married and have been happily married for 14 years. We've always longed for children, but our path to parenthood has been surprising. I (Sherri) suffered health problems for 12 years due to mercury poisoning. After God healed me, Nadeem and I thought that I would quickly conceive. We believe in the power of prayer and didn't understand why God wasn't answering our cry for children. We had already witnessed God's loving hand in other instances. Nadeem was raised as a Muslim and became a Christian several years after we were married. I had experienced God's healing power. We were confused and lacked direction. However, God had much bigger plans that would involve a journey across the globe to adopt a baby girl!

She's such a beautiful little baby. That angry little egg on the stroller back is making me giggle.
