What's in a name?....Waiting for Godot.

I have searched on every Indian name meaning website and have yet to find a meaning for "Joshne" (pronounced Joe-shna). It really doesn't matter it's meaning because to me, it is incredibly beautiful. I wonder, did her mother name her? Was it a family name? The thought of "Joshne Jones" has a fabulous ring to it...but I am a little biased! It is hard to have no other information. As you can probably guess..."any day now!" When it comes and paperwork becomes official, I will quickly post a photo.

It feels like waiting for Godot. Will she ever come? Will I ever know this precious girl? Once we sign papers, we can send her a small care package. What do you put into what seems like a very miniature box to connect with your child? I want to put my heart and soul. I want for her to know us. I want her to feel comforted and safe, knowing there is a family waiting to bring her home. Does one small "snuggly" sufficiently communicate all of that? Do the other children know that when one child receives a package it means a family wants them? Do they then hurt and long to receive that small box of their own? If I stop to think about it all, it often seems overwhelming. So for now, I think of our child and what I will place lovingly in that box.
