And the waiting game begins!

I have a feeling we are going to get very familiar with waiting. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a fairly impatient person. I want things when I want them and it's usually NOW. So we dropped off the adoption application yesterday and I called to follow up with it today. Yeaaahhh.....It won't be reviewed until FEBRUARY!! Until then we are supposed to research the agency and research, research, research open adoptions. We aren't guaranteed a spot in the program until after they interview us and even then there are only so many spots open.

I need to hold on to our dreams. I can definitely see why people turn to religion in these situations. It's comforting to think that God is up there pulling invisible strings that will move me closer and closer towards my baby. Maybe the Chinese have it correct. Maybe there is a thread tied to each of us that connects us to someone we are destined to meet and love at some point in our lives. My child is not born yet and may not even be conceived but I am positive that he/she will find his/her way into my arms. Until then, I'll do everything I can to make our lives ready for him/her.

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.- An ancient Chinese belief
