We get lots of questions about how adoption is going. It's not, it seems. We have pursued Ethiopia, and we received our first referral, we lost him in an African hospital, and then the country's adoptions have slowed by almost 90%, according to some people.
We have heard nothing since the country almost stopped processing papers.
And it's okay some days. It stinks some days.
We heard when we first started adopting to be open to whatever the Lord has for us. That we may start down one road and be turned by Him to another road. We don't really know His ultimate plan for what our family will look like, but we are open to be turned to another road. And we are open to stay straight on the path we've started down. We trust Him.
Waiting is never fun or easy. But if it's from Dad, it's always GOOD.
I learned from a good friend that the most important thing is to not always be looking down the road, but to just enjoy our family now, as it is right now. I feel thankful for the two boys the Father has already given us, and I don't want to miss a moment of their life. And, we hope, in time, Dad will add to our family.
