Waiting, too...

We are cleared and waiting, too. We have done this before, but it still feels so uncertain. Maybe because it IS! LOL. We are just sitting here waiting until some beautiful expectant mother who want to place finds us (among the bazillion other great couples and families out there) and thinks we're great!

My 6 year old asked, "How long does it TAKE? Can't Heavenly Father just put our new baby in the tummy of someone who is pregnant NOW and tell her it's supposed to be ours??" Ummm... not exactly, honey. She still has some understanding to gain about the other side of things... (She has read the letter from her birthmother about how she prayed and knew our family was right for her...) Really sweet, though.

It is so uncertain when your hopes and dreams, your future, rest in the hands of people you don't know.

It also makes vacation planning a challenge. Do I book that flight for three months from now? Or will I be busy? I kept putting off a trip overseas (to where I served my mission) and finally said, I have to LIVE! I can't just be WAITING my whole life. And if a baby comes and spoils all my plans, then GREAT! I ended up going on the trip. But it was an amazing experience, and I am glad I went. MY daughter came a little later.

Hope things are going well for you.
