Well gosh, Linny, I sure can't turn down an offer for encouragement! We've been waiting to be matched for 8 1/2 months now. We have heard nothing, but keep being told "it'll happen." As Christians, we know that the Lord is in control, but somehow I still battle doubts all the time as to whether this wait is God's "Not yet" or perhaps another closed and locked door that will never open (like the door we banged on during our infertility).
I just wish I had some internal assurance that it WILL happen. I fear that we'd have a complete family by now if we'd chosen to work with someone else. I fret over little phrases in our DBML, wondering if we ought to change things. I want a joyful, hopeful sense of anticipation that God will bring our daughter home at just the right time. However, as the wait nears the length of a normal pregnancy (and so many others around me are having their 3rd or 4th babies), I question if I'm in denial -- that maybe we'll be one of the statistics of waiting and never-matched couples.
So, encourage away... I could use it! :-)
