This Long Wait

Never in a million years when we began our second adoption journey did we think we would still be waiting for our referral 17+ months later. At times it does not seem like this second adoption will ever happen . . . but in our hearts we know it will all in God's time. Doesn't make the wait any easier. The toughest is when Sammie asks when we are going to China to bring her mei mei (little sister) home. Just the other day she asked me what we were going to do with Bella (our mini schnauzer) when we go to China. I told her we'd find someone to puppy sit for Bella.

I know times are different now with China's International Adoption Program, but when I think if times had stayed the same way they were when we adopted Sammie, then we'd have already been home from China with Madison over a year already. On top of that, it seems that when we became interested in the waiting child program, then all of a sudden a slow down happened there too! We know it is just a coincidence, but still doesn't make things any easier.

Thanks for listening to my rant about the wait. It is so very hard, but we know it will happen for us one day . . . until then . . . we simply wait.
