When we started researching adoption and felt the calling to dive in, we knew it would be a long process. We also knew it would be an emotional roller coaster. I am not sure I really realized HOW LLooonnnnggg it would be. We started research about 2 yrs before we went and attended classes. Now it has been over nine months since we finished our classes. All three of my children that I have delivered came early so I guess in my head I was hoping this would be the same. Adoption is a very exciting journey. In some ways it is similar to being pregnant, I am so in love with a child I have never met. I can't wait to see his face & see his personality. I am already proud of him for the journey he has faced and I don't even have any idea what that is. I am looking forward to the day where I can look back at this day and be able to give him a hug & tell him how much it was so worth the wait. I guess it is also very much like a couple trying to get pregnant. I have never had this problem. My children are all 2yrs apart almost to the week. When I tell some one we have 3 children and one on the way I have already set in my mind, yes I have 3 kids but I am not done. I know it is going to be worth the wait just like that couple who finally got pregnant after trying for so long. Say a little prayer for my family in our journey & give the children you have a hug & make sure you don't take them for granted. I know I will be hugging mine & I won't be taking how easy it was to get pregnant for them for granted either. I can't wait to be mommy of 4!
