18 Months

18 Months ago today, we officially began our adoption journey.

In the first conference call with our agency, we were told to plan on 15-18 months from the time we started our paperwork until we had her home and in our arms forever.

Well, we all know how that has turned out…

Today marks 18 months and we’ve yet to even get to see her little face or “meet” her.

We are still praying for her and can’t wait for the day we get our referral call and most especially for the day we get to bring her HOME!

The last month has been the hardest for me emotionally. It just seems so L-O-N-G. I even made the comment that I could’ve given birth to 2 babies by now :)

I think the hardest part is that it’s so different than what we’d expected and planned and also the unknown… we have absolutely no clue when to expect the next phases of the journey to take place, so much of our life has been put on hold and will continue to be put on hold. I like to live life to the fullest, so not being able to plan and do things has been hard for me.

BUT—God has been doing a work in my heart and I’m in a better place with all of this than I’ve been in a long time. I’m feeling good about it and filled with hope again.

“Faith isn’t believing God can, it’s knowing that He will.”

I’m BELIEVING that HE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m believing that it will be soon! We are expectantly waiting for our referral and trusting in God’s plan and timing. We know that He is FOR us and FOR her and that He’s holding us and guiding us to each other.

Resting in that today and PRAYING for a miracle.

Thank yall for joining with us in prayer!
