As Christmas approaches, and we get together with our families, I long to have news of who our precious little one is. To see his face, to know he is ours, to share him with our whole family.
The process in which we are currently in means that we are waiting for our global agency to match us with a child. The phone call could come at any given moment. I've heard this time referred to as adoption "labor pains". We know our child is coming, and our "labor pains" might be days, weeks, or months.
This time of waiting is changing me. I'm learning to rely not on my own understanding, because I simply don't understand why the waiting seems to be forever, I just want to see him, hold him, tell him how much we've all been waiting to see him and bring him home.... but.....GOD knows and the unfolding of HIS plan to complete our family is so worth this waiting time.
Whatever is causing the wait, whatever the reasons, I pray for it to be well within my soul.
Last night we were setting up our Christmas tree and our kids spoke of their brother and how next Christmas will be with him at HOME with us.
My daughter made a special ornament to put on the tree for her brother.
My son said that we need to put up a stocking for his little brother.
I see God at work in preparing the hearts of Ben and Maddie for welcoming their brother into our lives and hearts. How beautiful it is that God creates family, even across oceans.
Thank you for following our journey.
