our journey has been longer than we anticipated when we began. when we sent in our application in november the timeline from application to bringing your child home was 9-24 months. now the wait times are extended to include 6-12 months in between completed homestudy and referral and then an additional 12 months before you travel. and while i knew from the beginning that the only guarantee in adoption is that you will wait, each passing day is still hard.
today our little girl is 18 months old.
when we were matched with her back in july she was 9 months old. i had always thought she would be home by the time she was 18 months. don't ask why, just one of those silly things you think you know about your adoption (that you have no control over).
we've made progress, but received a letter requesting more information to process our i600.
just when i thought we were moving forward we hit a bump.
each day i try to rest in His promises as i gaze at her picture. soon my love, soon.

Christe,
I am praying for you and your family during this waiting period! I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be waiting! Know that H is in God's heart and capable hands and that she will be home with you soon! I get goosebumps when I think how wonderful it will be when you finally get to travel to get her! Thanks for the updates!
She'll be home soon. I know it must be killer to wait....but not much longer!
When school gets out and you're a little less busy we should catch up sure. If I find a cheap flight I'll see if I can come out for graduation....but with the price of oil airfare sucks.
Chris
Thanks guys,
Chris, you know you always have a place to stay. So, does that mean your oil stocks are up?
