Where are his fingerprints!!!

Ok, so one of the things I heard over and over again when we started the adoption process is how terrible the wait is. I heard it. I thought I understood it. Was I ever wrong! I feel like all I am doing is waiting, and we are not even on the waiting list yet!!!! Waiting for a home study, waiting for the home study to be finalized, waiting for appointment for fingerprints, waiting for fingerprint approval, waiting, waiting waiting. This week the waiting stress has hit me. We are currently waiting on Brian's fingerprints to be approved. I got my letter in the mail 9 days ago. We had our fingerprints done on the same day one hour apart. Where are they!!! I am so ready to be a mom, I can hardly stand it. My heart is really aching. And, to be honest, it hurts to even talk about the adoption right now. We've been doing this for 6 months and it feels like we are not any closer. It seems like our son is so far away! Please pray for Brian's fingerprint approval to come in and for God to give me patience and a peace about this whole process. We have a lot of waiting to do...
