Waiting


We wait, and check the list movement, and wait.  We wonder when and who will join our family...boy? girl? twins? I truly believe there is a child that is meant to be a part of our family and I trust that they will find their way to us.  It is however, challenging to just let it unfold.  We have been tempted to micro manage ourselves on the wait list...hold? or let it unfold? So far, we leave it up to destiny and remain on all lists.  Timing is everything! 
Last night Mumford and Sons "I will wait for you" brought us to tears.  We have been dreaming of this and waiting for more than 3 years!  As it gets closer and feels more real, the wait feels longer.  Deep down, I know the most difficult time is yet to come, when we meet our child, and cannot yet bring them home with us....now that wait will feel like an eternity.
I am so grateful for the cheerful sounds that fill our home, busy 4 and 6 year olds....and every once in a while they stop and ask, Mom, Dad, When are we going to get our baby? Wish we knew...with big hearts and open arms, we are ready!
