The waiting was worth it...I'm a mommy!
It's true what they say -- it's one phone call that changes your whole life in this waiting process for adoption (thru foster care). I received the call on 29 July, and flew down to meet my girls last weekend, and they're here this weekend (leaving this morning). This Saturday I drive down to bring them home forever. It has been amazing to see how God has prepared me for them, and literally brought MY children right to my door that are a perfect fit.
I know -- there will be difficult times ahead, but we're already having some reality peak thru the honeymoon, and they're responding well to the direction part as well as lapping up the love and attention. I have an incredible support system around me of family and friends through work and church, which you absolutely have to have if you're going to adopt siblings. You can't do it alone if you're single like I am....but it definitely is possible. I'll write more later -- sorry I am not ready yet to share too many details on them -- they're 7 and 10 and they're beautiful. I'm sure you experienced ones out there understand...
God bless...and thanks for your prayers..
Anita
