2 Months Waiting...

Wow it's been two months I feel like I just wrote the one month waiting post.  We have been so busy mainly with a certain little almost 2 year old.  I am loving this time with Hadden and Dustin though we are all ready to have our new addition home we are having fun in the mean time.  Our agency is still saying 7-10 months for an infant boy.  There are still a lot of changes going on in Ethiopia but we have seen a little more movement in the last month.  We will continue to pray they can work out a new process soon and that 7-10 months hold true or maybe even less. 

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

1 Month Waiting.....

We have officially been waiting for our referral for 1 month now and truthfully it has gone by so fast. Hadden keeps this mommy pretty busy!  With the changes going on in Ethiopia we are still not sure when we could get matched with a child.  Our agency is still saying 7-10 months for an infant boy but we are expecting that it could get a little longer.   They tell you about all these things before you start any international adoption but I guess I just never thought we could be expecting a longer wait, though we are praying we won't but you never know in the world of adoption.   I have to say that this has been pretty hard for me, for someone who likes to have a plan.  I am good with thinking we could be waiting 7-10 months but honestly at this point we just don't know and that has been a struggle for me.  God has been teaching me so much just since we started this process and I really look forward to the way he is going to continue to mold me.  I could not do this without him so from here we will continue to wait and seek God and the perfect plan he has for us.
