We are not alone on the journey

We got a really nice Christmas card from our case worker yesterday. In it she stated how much she appreciated all that we were doing to help other couples with their own adoption miracles. (With FSA). She also mentioned that she knew it can be hard to be long waiters and that she knew many people were praying for us and our own miracle. That felt good. It seems that every time we get a bit down or discouraged we get the lift we need from a friend or neighbor. They simple say that they are praying for us and that makes us feel so grateful.
We know that we are doing what we should be doing. We will help any couple with their profile or what to do and say. We have a firm testimony of the great work that Adoption is. We have couples tell us they are placing after waiting a whole 3 months, We are happy for them but it’s still hard wondering why we haven’t had the blessing yet. Some couples get so upset that it is taking so long…a whole 6 months or almost a year. Well, we let them know that it doesn’t get much easier coming up on the 3 year mark, but its not about getting any baby, its about getting your baby. We had a case worker tell us that there was a reason we were having to wait so long, they just didn’t know what it was. I guess it is for a reason. We had a couple that was facing a failed placement (the birth mother was going to change her mind) I asked how they were dealing with it and they told me that they had to smile and have a positive attitude, “You guys would do that so we need to be like you” That was nice, but we are nothing special. We just know that there is a higher power and knowledge behind this work. After all, that’s what Faith without fear really means.
