Well, here we are almost two weeks into this process of being considered for two children - possibly three - to adopt sometime next year. It seems like it has been years since we agreed to submit our home study and let God make yet another decision about the future of our family. I think it seems that long because the last two weeks have been a bunch of just waiting. And that waiting and waiting and waiting has a tendency to take a toll on a person's confidence as it is mine today. Not my confidence that God will do what is best for us and best for these children. Not my confidence that God knows which doors to open and which doors to close for us. Not my confidence that Patrick and I will be good parents to some wonderfully perfect children. But it is more related to my confidence that THESE are the children He has meant for us. So we continue to wait to hear if these children are our future family or not. And while I jump a few feet in the air every time the phone rings or an email pops up, I know that we will have an answer soon enough. I can't keep myself from staring at the computer for a few minutes at a time just willing the answer to come though! :)
So again we say thanks to you all for your continued prayers and support as we take yet again another ride on this roller coaster called Starting a Family! We will continue to keep you posted as we hear anything new!
