13 Months

Today marks 13 months on the waitlist for us. I’m so excited to be hitting another big milestone on this part of the journey!

We have been so busy lately with school, work and kids’ extra curricular activities that I haven’t spent as much time dwelling on the timeline.

It’s actually a blessing, I think, to be so exhausted all the time because it’s helped me not to dwell on the situation too much.

Don’t think that doesn’t mean I don’t think about her. I think about her constantly. But at least I’m not having any major freak-out sessions at the moment :)

It goes without saying that WE.ARE.READY. I’m still praying for a miracle and that we would be able to have her home quicker than the “average” time. That as soon as we are matched to a child, that our paperwork would go through quickly and with no hindrances and we will finally be able to see her sweet face and move forward in getting her home.

We will wait as long as we have to for HER. This is about HER and not about my own desire to have her here ASAP. Ultimately, I want what’s in God’s perfect plan and what’s best for HER.  I’m just blessed to be on this ride and to get to share life with her. It’s not easy and it’s getting harder by the day and month, but I know that she will be worth the wait.

The current average wait time is 15.5 months. If that doesn’t change, then we at least know that we are just a couple more months away!!!

October is my favorite month of the year. Maybe it will come then? 2 of my sweet guys have birthdays that month…. that would sure be a great birthday present for them :)
