6 Months Waiting!

Today Raleigh and I are celebrating 6 months of offically waiting for our referral. If you are not familiar with the adoption process, our "official wait" started when our homestudy (paperwork) was approved.

Adoption timelines are unpredictable, but our agency has given us their "best guess" which is a 12 month wait from homestudy to referral. If this holds true, we are half way through the wait to referral. WooHoo!

We know that the timeline is totally in God's hands and we are just excited to follow Him on the journey!!!

Another thing that only God knows is how old our child will be at the time of referral. However, if all of the "best guesses" are exactly true, we would get a referral of a 5 month old baby at the end of July. If this happened to be true, our child will be born at the end of February. Wow!! That is so neat that our child's birth mother could be approximately 8 months pregnant right now.

I cannot imagine the emotions she must be experiencing as she makes such a hard decision about the future of her child. Raleigh and I will continue to pray for our child's birthmother and for our child.

Thanks to everyone who is sooo supportive of this journey!!! We are so thankful for your prayers!!
