To make a long story short, after all the fretting and anxiety, yes, we did host. Yes, our little girl liked us and we all got along very well. She was a little bit stand-offish from my husband, but by the last day, she was feeling comfortable around him.
Lily, as she will be known from now on, fit right in with our family. She is just like our other three children. The day camp director told us that she prays about which child to put in which family before she makes the final decision. It is amazing to see how God directs her. Each child fits right in. What is even more amazing is that she had never met us or the host child! Another thing that makes this whole scenario even more amazing is that I found out from someone that Lily almost went to another city with another group. After all the years of thinking about adoption and then finally deciding to see how a child might fit in our family, everything just fell into place. In fact, several unresolved things happened then and have happened recently telling us that God wants us to pursue the adoption of these two precious little girls that he has placed in our path. It has always been amazing to me how God makes things go exactly the way he wants them to go.
We also met Rose at this camp. We have decided to adopt Rose also. Rose and Lily are best friends.
I wanted to blog about all the details of the girls' visit, but that will have to wait until another time.
