Waiting...

I really need to be in bed but I have been wanting to write a post and haven't because I have either been painting OR painting. Yesterday marked a month...well now that I look at the clock and it's technically Monday I guess I should say Saturday marked a month since we found out that our birth mother had backed out on us. When we met with our lawyer in January we had had 5 "offers" for babies before we said yes to the baby in California.

About a week and a half ago I called the attorney's office just to make sure they knew they were supposed to call us when they had a baby and they said they did know but they just hadn't had any situations come up that would be a good match for us!! In my mind I'm thinking really?!?!? We have very few limitations and you're telling me in the last month you've had NOTHING that would match with us?!?!? Can you tell that I am getting very impatient? I know that nothing is going to happen unless it is God's will and His timing but I am sooo weary from waiting. If I could pick the way it would happen, the attorney's office would just call and say we have a baby ready for you to pick up tomorrow!! That way I wouldn't have to wait it would just happen.

Also for anyone that reads our blog if you know of anyone considering adoption would you please share our story with them. I know that some people may be weary of saying anything but PLEASE let us know if you know of someone looking for a forever home for their sweet baby!!!

In the meantime just continue to pray. Pray that:
* God would grant me more patience
*God would protect my heart and mind during this waiting time, the enemy is really making me sad thinking about the fact that we were so close and now we are back at square one
*The time between now and when we get our baby would be short
*Our baby is healthy and the birth mother is taking care of her body

  2. Hope,
    I am so glad you have this blog. Those of us who live on the other side of the world can check it 7 days a week to see if there is any news without pestering you with questions about whether or not you have heard anything. The silence speaks loudly and I can't imagine what you must be going through as the summer slips away without a baby in your arms. Praying for you.
    Love,
    Jordan
