Okay, I am not complaining. Or maybe I am. Or maybe I am just reporting.
Anyway-as you all know-Matt and I had our adoption file on hold for a while this spring. Well, not that I'm obsessing over it-I know it is a process, and that there are many variables. Add to that, there is still a lot we want to get done before our newest family member joins us. But come on already-according to the ticker on our blog- it has been 114 days, 5 hours and blah blah since we went back on the waiting list. Seriously.
We had heard a week or so ago that 4 new infant girls came into care at the orphanage in Ethiopia, and that our agency would hopefully refer them *last* week. Well, they did not. We are next in line for a referral, and I know for certain we were not missed. Not that a referral now would mean a sooner homecoming. The Ethiopian courts are closed until sometime in October anyway. It would just be nice to see the face of our new child.
Then again......I suppose if we had referral and knew who our child was, I'd be worried about her being there waiting to come home, running around like a mad woman preparing, and running around a little more. I guess I will wait patiently, enjoy my family, get settled into my new job, and wait some more.
I know God's plan and timing are perfect. However, if I didn't gripe once in a while I'd be someone else !
Stay tuned.
