As of tomorrow (Tuesday), our paperwork will have been in South Africa for 6 months.
And it will have been about 17 months since we made the decision to adopt a child.
For some reason these past few weeks have been the hardest, maybe because so few referrals have been coming from SA, maybe because it looks like we might not get the phone call until 2008, maybe just because we have this feeling that it really should happen some day soon even though circumstances say it won't.
I continue to lean on a word God gave me about the whole situation, to "wait patiently and confidently" since He has only the best in mind for us and for our child.
But this waiting is still hard.

I prayed for you lots and lots and lots yesterday! I am believing you will hear soon!
I would be concerned if you didn't long as you do. Katie I know your heart and I believe God gives us the desires of our heart. But He also likes to teach us patience doesn't He? I am praying for you, asking God to strengthen you and reward you.

I check your blog once in a while and my heart went to you when I read this today. This was the hardest thing for us to deal with. (The LONG wait!!) I will give you no major advice as I know most of it does not change what you heart aches for, but just pray and know God has a GREAT plan for you all (and that PERFECT baby he's already got in mind!) We will with you!!
Hej!
Jag vill bara visa mitt deltagande i er väntan. Har själv varit där och även om tron på Gud är stark och att Han vet vilket barn som behöver oss; så ÄR vi inte mer än människor! Ovissheten är tuff och man blir prövad under väntans tider.
Nu, när vi har våra barn så kan vi bara känna en så stor, varm, kärleksfull omsorg från Gud och att Han hela tiden hade/har allt i sin hand. Jag försöker fortfarande att lita mer på Gud och den omsorg han har om mig, men jag är inte mer än människa...
One thing we know for sure--God's timing is perfect.
And you never know when God might send you the most perfect little child who needs all the love and care and light you can give him or her.
I've been thinking a LOT lately about a dream that I had like a long time ago. I shared the dream with you sometime ago. Do you remember it?
