During this waiting time, while we keep being told that referrals will come in September, then nothing, ok they will come in November, still nothing and now they will come in December and hopefully some news will come soon for someone in our adoption circle. It will not be for us because I have been informed that our profile is still in Ontario and will not be going to Africa because the are too many there right now waiting.
The Adoption process is a lot of hurry up and WAIT.
- Hurry up and fill out these forms and wait for a reply
- Hurry up and get a medical and wait for the results
- Hurry up and get fingerprints and wait for them to come back
- Hurry up and prove you are a Canadian Citizen and wait a really long time (still waiting!!)
- Hurry up and put together your profile wait for it to be sent
- Hurry up and pay so you can move to the next step and wait
- Hurry up and get marriage and birth certificates and wait for them to come in the mail
- Hurry up and phone the adoption agency and wait for a response
- Hurry up and get documents notarized and wait for them to be added to your dossier
- Hurry up and go to this course and wait for hands on experience
- Hurry up and prove your home is fit for children and wait for children to fill it
- Hurry up and sign your home study and wait for it to come back
- Hurry up and tell family and friends you are adopting and wait
- Hurry up and show me the money then wait to book flights and travel
- wait for dossier to be sent, wait for referral, wait to be able to travel, wait to hug your child,
Maybe I am not in the best mood to be blogging tonight and this is the reason for the lack of posting. oh well this is the real feelings during this slow moving time. Love Dilly
Hi all!! Wow this has to be the most frustrating thing you have done in your life!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess it is a waiting game - maybe they are just trying to test your patience!! There definitely is a reason for all the waiting - only God knows why.
I know you will keep your faith and it will happen when it supposed to.
Its a good thing to show your real feelings and by blogging it is getting your frustration out of your system.
Hang in there - it will happen - be strong in your faith!!! Praying for you - much love Gram May
Waiting with you Dall.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to hug the children.
Waiting to help out with whatever we can.
Waiting to see the joy these new additions will bring to your family.
Waiting to know their names.
Waiting to watch Jaeli be a big sis again.
Waiting to see Kyan's expressions.
Waiting to see your family completed.
Love you all,
Aunty Darlene
I've done it once, on the second round, must say it gets easier (a tiny tiny tad of a bit), but it sure is a pain in the heart and the mind waiting, waiting, waiting. Sigh. So hoping for any news soon!!
ReplyDeleteI found this poem and thought it was soo true. Be Still & Know .... Love you, Mom
ReplyDelete~~ LABOR OF MY HEART ~~
I would have given anything
to be the one to know
the pain of bringing you into this world
but it couldn’t be.
Though I did not bring you here
still I labored in my tears
through the long nights I prayed
you would come to me.
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart.
Blessed be the maker
of bone of other bone.
He made flesh of my desire
and today I take you home.
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart.
Thinking that during this "waiting" time it may be best to focus on your relationship with T & the two blessing you have here while keeping this is the back of your mind ... probably easier said than done. I wish you peace, love & happiness .... Mom
