If you have ever read the book "Oh The Places You Will Go" by Dr. Seuss, you will understand when I say we are in "The Waiting Place." Everything is in order for us to receive a referral. In unadoption terms, the file on a child waiting to be adopted and it contains all of their information including medical conditions. Once you receive the file we have 48 hours to accept and then you are "matched." Once that takes place then you go into yet another phase in getting ready to bring your sweet little one home. We are waiting for the email letting us know they have found a child that can be placed in our home.
In the adoption journey everyone's process looks so different. I have yet to hear of any two being the same. With that being said I do not know how long we will be staying in, "The Waiting Place" but hopefully not to long because this part is killing me! Once a month a shared list comes out and we hold our breath to see if they have a referral for us. It is kind of like that morning you wake up to take a pregnancy test and you have to hold your breath to see if it is yes or no and if it's no.... it's another month. We did not get matched in June so hopefully when the list comes out in July it will be a YES! This is all in God's timing but knowing she is somewhere out there on the other side of the world needing her mommy.... it kills me. Pray for her protection and pray someone out their is loving sweet Ella until she is home with us. We have her room painted and waiting. We just need her home! "The Waiting Place" is not much fun so please pray that this part goes quickly.
