Let's talk about where we are currently in the adoption process. Imagine with me for a moment that you are pregnant. Newly pregnant. YOu go the doctor, she confirms that you will be adding to your family, but she has absolutely no idea when you will meet this little one. Well, I shouldn't say NO idea. More like, she gives you an estimated timeline. It's anywhere from 6 months to 24+ months (and that can and probably will change along the way). WHAT?!?!?! Yup...that's adoption. Especially international adoption. I definitely took my due date for granted when I was pregnant. Having an end in sight was awesome. ;) But right now God is really teaching me to trust him with his timing. If He wanted us to know who our child was already, than He would have made that happen. I may feel overdue....but really, I am right where he wants me to be.
After having our dossier in Ethiopia for a year now, it really could be any day or another 6 months. Pray for us as we patiently wait for a referral and more importantly, pray for the child that God has for us and for all of the other kids just waiting to be a part of a family.
(I know I haven't updated this blog in a few months, so just as an FYI, we are #12 on the waiting list and will find out our new number on May 1st. However, we are pretty sure that we haven't moved any spots this month. While you are praying...pray for movement!!)
Thanks for supporting us in this journey!
