Waiting....

Last week I had a hard time dealing with the wait. When we began our adoption process, the wait was about 6-9 months and now the wait is two years. Adoptive families that received referrals this month from China have waited two years. Waiting is so difficult. There are times that I am okay with the wait and othere times it is so heartbreaking. One day last week, after talking with our adoption coordinator, I just cried and cried. Our adoption coordinator, Tina, is wonderful, but unfortunately she has no control over when we will recieve our referral. I was just thinking last night of how much time we spend in life just waiting. I know that God has the perfect child picked out for us and I just need to believe in that, but it is so hard sometimes. I think of the family and friends in our life that have children and I know that they would wait forever for their children because they love them so much and know that they belong in their family. So, I am going to sit and wait for the child God has designed for us. It feels strange at times, but I love that little one so much, yet I have never seen her sweet little face.
