A little over a month......

We met our son through pictures and paper a month ago Friday. Since then, we have heard no news on his wellbeing, his growth, his personality, his needs, or just overall how he is doing. We understand that this is just part of adoption but it is so hard. I just want someone to send me something, just a small token of information that will pacify us for another long month of waiting. We haven’t heard any news of a court date and have been told that this probably won’t be given out until after the judges come back from recess on October 5th. Some days aren’t so bad. Other days are very long and hard. Our family feels incomplete, like we are missing someone. Is it possible to miss someone you have never met? Emma talks about her baby brother daily and seems to miss him in her own way as much as we do. We are all ready to be a family of four and hope that these next months pass quickly as we wait for the word that he is in fact ours to keep……

  1. Just wanted to say that we are right there with you. I know we haven't been waiting as long but I am already so desperate for an update and can't wait for October to get here. Praying for you tonight...

  2. We as well can't wait for the courts to reopen. Praying with you all, beside you, and as a fellow adoption family. May October prove to be a mighty month in starting to bring more beautiful children HOME AGAIN!!!! Lord we pray that you be with all of us waiting parents! Waiting is sooo hard- for a day or months either way!

  3. The wait is bad for me and we're not close to a referral, so I can't imagine what the wait is like AFTER you get your referral! Praying that you'll hear something as soon as the courts reopen!

  4. We are praying for you guys. I pray the days will be filled with God arms embracing you through one another and from friends who are walking this journey with you. Loved seeing Emma, John and Lee on Saturday - and seeing that Emma recognized us in a different setting. Love Connie
