Our Year of Waiting

I can't believe it has almost been a year since we signed all the papers, the background checks went through, and we were officially declared "an adoptive couple."

We thought, "we'll have a baby in our home next Christmas." Next Christmas is in less than two weeks with nothing but one false alarm.

We were personally counseled "the road to bring other children into our home would be twisty and curvy, but totally worth it in the end." We still believe that, and continue in patience and faith as we know there is another member of our family somewhere, out there, waiting to join us.
