We got caught up in the whole Russia thing, and ended up switching countries from Russia to China. We have a LID of last summer, and still don't have a referral. All in all, we've been in the adoption process for well over two years, and in the infertility process for about 5 years.
The reality of it is, though, that that doesn't matter. Sure, we want a baby so badly we can almost feel it. Sure it seems like it's taking forever. But it's not totally about us. It's about that
one wonderfully special little girl (or boy) who needs
us.
If the perfect child for us was in another place at another time, I truly believe that we'd have gone a different route. But, we were led this way, and, I honestly believe that God has that one child who can complete our lives and whose life we can complete just waiting for us, when the time is right.
So, we can wait as long as we need to in order to be matched up with the perfect forever family.
It's easier for me to say that because our referral should hopefully be right around the corner, but I can't anticipate what the CCAA might or might not do in the next several weeks or months. And even if I could, it's out of my control.
I know it's tough, but, for your child's sake, hang in there!
