But, we still haven't heard them and it's been a bit over 8 months of waiting on "the list". Unfortunately the list seems to get longer as people who's names are on before us continue to 'expand their preferences' for children so our wait time continues to expand as well. What does this mean? It means that if someone on the list before us said that they preferred a girl that was 0-8 months when they initially applied to the program, they could now change their preferences to 0-18 months. Which then would make the child from 9-18 months that could have been our referral become theirs...get it? Families change preference for various reasons...it's just something we have to accept. It's a lot to wrap your head around...but all in all, I'm trying to remind myself over and over, just as I did when we went through this process with the girls, that this is God's plan and we're on His time here. There is not one other explanation for how this process works. He's leading us down this path.
You will all know when we do get that phone call though...I'll be shouting it loud and clear...for ALL to hear! My heart will be beating in my toes and my throat...but I'll still be able to sing His praises and share our joy!
Maybe the power of MASS prayer will help in this process...comm'on...say a little one for us...God MUST be tired of hearing my same 'ole words! I'm sure you all can do us good!
