Its about time for an update in our adoption adventure blog. Over the last couple of months, a couple of scenarios did open up in our agency, but we were not chosen. It was tough to feel rejected and yet not surprising due to the number of families out there to be chosen. We know when the timing is right, we will be the family chosen. I could only imagine the joy that the "chosen" family felt and can't wait to get my own phone call someday. It isn't easy knowing someone is looking at our profile, trying to make one of the hardest decisions of their life.
Recently the birth parents have been due very soon form the time they view profiles (within a month). That has motivated us to begin our baby registry. We have been slowly compiling a list of necessities to bring home a baby. For those of you, like me, who currently have not brought home our first child yet, the options out there for baby stuff are overwhelming at times. But we are learning and researching and having fun trying to pick out strollers and books and toys for our child! Sometimes the adoption seems like a pipe dream but the registry helps me remember that this will happen and is REAL, despite the waiting. For now we pray for our future birth family and child, and patiently wait for the phone call that changes our life! :-D
