Trusting in the Delays
It's hard to trust.
It's even harder to trust when things aren't going your way.
It may be the hardest to trust when nothing is happening whatsoever.
For the most part, that's where we find ourselves.
We were really cooking along with the home study and dossier requirements, items have been sent off for certification and authentication, and application and LOI sent for little C. Those are all listed as though done with ease and without incident...not the case...but it's easier to just shove the past several weeks together for the sake of time and space.
We were then notified that both agencies missed that Chris must have background checks in both states in which he studied while in college. SO...now we jump back several months and dive back into the process and filling out papers and then...waiting.
We've had a good many setbacks over the past month...while still feel like momentum is swinging our way. It's hard to express the ups and downs of the adoption process...just know it's hard to conduct normal routine in the throws of all that is adoption.
So there you have it.
This post isn't going to end with some incredibly inspiring news...just plugging along in the mundane...trying to trust our Father in the midst of the frustrations...knowing that He has a purpose for everything under the sun and that He alone will continue to protect and provide for these two little ones just as He's done every day of their lives thus far.
