Wow. November of 2014. I can safely say that I never thought I would be writing a waiting list post for November of 2014. It feels like it can't be real.
We got our monthly update yesterday, and there was no movement.
I have to say that I am not surprised. It seems that the more this adoption process progresses, the less progress we actually make. We received an update from our agency the other week telling us that what we are currently experiencing is the new normal and we should not be expecting anything different. Honestly, I am not quite sure what that means. It was one year ago on November 1 that we became number 29 for the very first time. Now, one year later, we have made little forward progress toward our children.
It is confusing. Hurtful. Complicated.
There is no simple solution to our problem. Believe me, I wish there was.
All we know is that God has asked us to adopt from Ethiopia, so here we are. We are waiting. And it is hard and it hurts and I don't like it. I want my children home. What we are experiencing now… I honestly did not even know this was in the realm of possibility. This is so much harder than anything I could have dreamed up on my own.
But I am trying my hardest to trust God and hang on.
Love,
Baylor
Yep! My sentiments as well. I told my husband yesterday that I either need to call in sick on the 1st of the month or stop reading my emails. I know what to expect, but that hope of something different just won't die.
ReplyDeleteRight there with you, Kara. Praying that joy is on the horizon SOON.
