Frustrated By the Process
Well, what was originally supposed to be a 60-day process has now stretched to 100+, and I am frustrated! While I haven't forgotten that we are blessed to have an adoption in progress, I find this process to be less than palatable. We've experienced delay after disappointing delay--and it feels like our risk period will never end. At this point, our court hearing will be around October 15th. When every day seems like a week, that date appears to be far in the distance. Please pray that this adoption will be protected and that we will have patience and strength as we wait for God's perfect timing.

This is the very reason my husband and I can't seem to get to the same page when it comes to adoption. We'd both love to adopt, but the process is so daunting, and he has an overwhelming desire to protect my heart whereever he can. I can't imagine the emotions you must be feeling.
Don't let our woes keep you from taking the plunge! Our situation is not the norm. It happened WAY faster than average, but it's been much stickier than most. I'm holding a precious child in my arms, and the joy totally overrides the pain of the process. Let God lead.
There are so many people praying for your family, the adoption, all of it. It may be frustrating but God is with you and he can give you strength.
Much Love,
Dana
I didn't mean to say that your particular situation sways me. I myself am adopted. We talked about adopting before we were even engaged. We've been exposed to the good and the bad of adoption. Through the years of infertility there have been so many hurts, as you well know. My husband just wants to protect my heart when he can. So we can't get to the same page!
I'm praying your particular situation is resolved more quickly than you expect!
God bless you as you stand in His waiting room...I've been there!
I stand on His promise that He knows the plans He has for you...to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future! I have witnessed a miracle
as I watched your family form!
God bless you!
