Still playing the waiting game

Those two calls back in February/March are still the only ones we've had so far. The waiting becomes a little harder with every month that passes...keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

My friend Elaine is the one I turn to in my times of despair. I'm so grateful to have her in my life. She and I met the first day of freshman year, not roommates, but neighbors a few doors apart, and were inseparable from the get-go. Though she moved away for a few years after college, she moved back to her hometown, only about 40 minutes away, and we've picked up where we left off. We still finish each others' sentences. She, too, is playing the adoption waiting game, and has been waiting longer than we have. Not sure what I'd do without her.

One thing I believe, Martha, is that God has a perfect plan, one that will prosper and not bring you harm. Our lives are but a blink in God's eye...take patience and faith, friend! I know the wait will be so worth it when you meet your son or daughter!!

I too believe that your son or daughter is only his/her way. He/she just hasn't found you yet, but will.
