Two Little Words
Matt and I have been waiting for months now to hear two
little words. I wish I could say I have been patient, but the truth is that I
am not a very patient person. I bet you were thinking that the two little words
would be “We’re Pregnant”, but nope, that’s not them. We have been waiting and
waiting to hear “We’re Approved” for adoption.
That’s right, after ten months of waiting we have been
approved to adopt from the state foster system. So from here, we wait to be
matched to our kids. We are hoping for siblings, under the age of 6. Maybe two
or three, we didn’t put a max number down. I did see on the national waiting
children website that there are sibling groups of five!
In a day our family could double in size! We are so thankful
that God already knows who are kids are and we have been praying that he
protects their hearts from the abuse they may experience before they come to
us. We have also been praying that God will equip us to be able to help them
and parent them the best way we can. It’s exciting and I would say that I hope
you all will be praying for us too, but I already know that there are so many
that are because I have an unexplainable amount of peace about everything that
is about to change in our life.
