Its getting longer! Here is our waiting chain that now has 64 links on it. That is a little over nine weeks waiting for our referral. This time has been difficult but I have grown so close to God through all the struggles, it is worth it.
I have focused on fixing my eyes upon Jesus when the wait starts to feel completely overwhelming. I have realized how much I enjoy my family and how much I want to soak up every little bit of Irelyn before the kiddos get here and life gets a little crazy!
Sometimes this adoption process is hard to understand. I don't fully understand why for most families with our agency, there whole adoption process only takes about nine months and we have been at this for over a year. I don't understand why God has sent us so many curve balls to slow us down when we so badly want our family to expand.
I KNOW that He loves us fully with a steadfast love that only he can produce. I know that I have grown holier through this process which is ultimately my goal in life. I know that our process is unique to us and I LOVE how God hand crafted it to fit our family perfectly.
I know we will see those little faces so soon and it will become so obvious why God wanted us to wait for them!
