In regards to the wait.....I think I can offer some words of encouragement to you.
Consider this:
If you believe that the Lord chooses which wee ones will be 'ours and yours'.....then you have to believe that He also has the right timing in place.
Everyone has 'there time'...has 'their day in adoption'. I can remember when our 'next to the youngest' was born: We had no idea. We were called, 'out of the blue' one day. I had gone to the chiropractor to remedy a migraine. I was 'caught' by the secretary of one of the local agencies while I walked into the nearby Chinese restaurant to have a lunch date with my sister.
It was this secretary who told me that our adoption attorney was trying to get ahold of me most of the morning to say that 'they had a baby for us'!
The next day, I went to pick up our baby. (My sister went with me, my dh was out of state and unable to come home soon enough.) I thought during the entire drive, "THIS is MY day. THIS is the day that it is happening...and it's happening for us and this baby. Yesterday....it was someone else's time for having their baby. Tomorrow it will be another person's time....but TODAY......today is OUR day.
Your day is coming. Your day will come. If you wait long enough....it WILL come. There is learning to be done during the wait. This is adoption labor, and it can be very painful.....but it is necessary in many ways. Just keep in mind....that one day WILL be YOUR day for you and your baby.
More than once....I was sooo sure that God did not hear me-- Did not think that we would have another baby. But, more than once, the details of 'how our baby came to us'....have been overwhelming. There are incidents and timings that were just toooooo coincidental to believe they 'just happened that way'.
I could write a book about these; and every time I get discouraged about so much right now, I remind myself about those times when 'out of the blue' incidents occurred.
Hang in there. The reunion with your baby may be closer than you think.
Most Sincerely,
Linny
