Aspenhall,
How were you shown these profiles? We are going thru DHS but we sent our homestudy to the nearest LDSFS offices in case they heard of children in foster care.
V,
I understand how you feel. We have been actively on the path towards adoption for over a year and I feel like we have barely gotten anywhere. We have our homestudy completed but have yet to be approved for our fostercare license. It's been more than 2 years since I first felt prompted to adopt again and I'm starting to lose faith (in myself). I'm starting to second guess everything. Was it the Spirit or just my own insanity?
Last week, I thought I might have found our kids but now, they are gone from the photolisting. That would mean they have already been placed according to that photolisting's policies. I feel so foolish. So much for thinking the Spirit was telling me they were ours.
I used to be so sure we were on the right path even if it seemed a bit crazy. Now, I wonder if I'm just wasting everyone's time and energy for nothing but my own stupid thoughts. I guess I'm pretty discouraged right now. It seems like there are so many kids that need families but any I express interest in are already placed or have issues we can't handle or I just never hear anything.
Oh well, time will tell. I still have faith we'll find our "needle in a haystack."
