Thank you Stephanie for sharing this poem with us. How perfectly it fits.
A half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart
My little one, my bundle of joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my baby boy
I know you're waiting too
A half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home
My little one, my bundle of joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there
I hope that we
will no longer be
a half a world away.
Little one, we are so anxious and excited to bring you home. We pray each day that we will travel soon. We pray for you and your foster family, that you are safe, and loved. We are thankful for your birth mother and the gift she has given to you, and to us.

Congratulations! I'm glad you like my poem! Here are the actual lyrics:
Half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart
My little one, my precious joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my little boy
I know you're waiting too
Half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home
My little one, my precious joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there
Half a world away
So many miles to bring you home at last
And half a world away
So many months of waiting are past.
My little one, my precious joy
You're fin'ly home to stay
My precious son, my little boy
We celebrate this day...
Knowing we will no longer be
half a world away.
