I'm not going to lie, this wait is hard. I cried 3 times this weekend when people asked me what was going on in our adoption process. {bleck} It's hard waking up in the morning knowing that the only thing holding up this process to get our beautiful boy home is money. It doesn't seem right. And yet I look at all of the figures that are requested, and I get it. I get why it has to be so expensive. It just really, really stinks.
I wish I could share a photo, here on my blog, of this boy who has captured our hearts. It was such a joy last weekend to be able to share his photo with people, and have {most} everyone respond so enthusiastically. There really is something so special about Jamesy. I cannot wait to see the plans that God has for him....for us.
I know God is refining us and teaching us during this wait. I know God is caring for Jamesy better than I ever, ever could. My heart just hurts. No one said this would be easy, and this is the road we have chosen, I get that.
And you know what I would do it all over again.
As soon as I am cheek to cheek holding Jamesy, the pieces will all fit together, and it will be so, so worth it.
Until then....
Waiting on God to act.
This is for you, Jamesy. May you always know that you were meant to be here with us. We love you, we want you, we are waiting for you.
Sissy has even dreamed about you now.
How strange it is for us not to be together. Soon.
