Cora – a young maiden
Also, a family name that I just love.
Hope – one who has expectations through faith
Another family name with a meaning that is so fitting for our precious daughter.
Proverbs 13:12
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”
After almost 6 years of marriage and after beginning our adoption process in January of 2011,
we are proud to annouce we have a beautiful, sweet little girl!
Introducing Cora Hope!
Monday July 9th at about 8:30 AM I received a call (THE call) on my phone from our social worker asking me to pull up my email. I asked her if I was going to have a heart attack and she sweetly said yes 🙂
I opened up the email and inside it said, Cora Hope (a name Mike and I choose) and had an adorable little picture of our daughter.
We have spent the last two weeks trying to get our home ready for our little girl and trying to spend as much time with her as possible. I had been praying for months that our child would bond easliy with us and that she would be a happy baby (among other things). I truly believe God has answered my prayers – in more ways than one – she has been so content with us and has been such a joy in our life, she really is a happy little one.
Cora came home July 20, 2012. It was a very emotional day, signing paperwork, holding Cora and knowing she was going home with us, forever. The family Cora stayed with were amazing people. They cherished Cora as they would one of their own and it is evident how much she was cared for and loved.
We give all praise to our faithful God, Who has loved us so tenderly during these long years of waiting to be parents.
