Little did I understand how this journey of adoption would be. Yes, all the books and agencies tell you to expect delays, paperwork issues and many other things. Yet reading it and living through it is so different!
That excitement and fear are your companions on the journey. You never know when you wake who will be driving your life that day. Many days they fight over the steering wheel! Than I will feel a calm as once more I see God's hand move in mighty ways and than worry that he will not move again. It defies logic and engages such deep emotions.
I wake at night wondering if all is well for him. Is he hungry? Do his shoes fit? What exciting thing happened in his life that day?
The most exciting thing is this~we submit the dossier on Friday! Unless you have gone down this road you may not quite grasp the significance of this. It is the entirety of our life! Back ground checks, birth certificates and much more. Really it is months of paper trails and finger prints and now it is done!
This weekend is another fund raiser this weekend, friends in Grand Rapids are hosting. This too has been another blessing. How people have joined in this song of adoption. Coming together with help, blessings and prayer.
So even when fear has a turn at the wheel, and that is a scary ride, I know that one day we will look back and say it was the best ride ever!
