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...

The nine months I had to wait are nothing compared to your test of patience. Find peace and rest in God, as he will get you through this and things will be even better on the other side. Not only will your heart and arms be full with the love of your son, but your spirit will be refreshed and full of HIS love too.

Yay- I'm so excited you have a blog I can follow. Since this may be a path we are on shortly, this will be of great interest to us! I wish you so much luck and speed in this process.

Oh friend, God makes us Mommies long before we even see that sweet one, doesn't He? I will definitely keep you in my prayers as you allow God to mold you more closely to His patience... and as you dream of your sweet boy's face.
