55 days. Today makes 55 days since we were pre-approved to adopt our sweet Shawn. January 9th will mark two weeks since our paperwork was "out of translation". After surviving the wait for Bella, I thought this wait would be a piece of cake. I was wrong. His photos are all over our home and there's now a crib in our guest room. All I want (for now) is an official letter stating he's ours.
Last Wednesday was the first "hard" day. That night, a friend posted to Facebook, "Sometimes God uses the most unlikely source to speak the words we most need to hear". It linked to this song...I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons

She had no idea, but it was just what I needed to make it through the rest of that night.
Here's hoping for our Letter of Acceptance (LOA) soon.

ReplyDeleteWe are adopting from China. Packing our bags to leave next week! I'd love to make connection and chat. Looks like we both used CCAI! kccota02@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWe are bringing home a little girl who is two. So excited! I met Karmyn through adoption connection as well. We live in Texas, how about you? Keri
