The Waiting Continues

On Monday we will reach our 11 week wait marker. It has been a very busy summer and has made the waiting process go by more quickly than I would have expected. We have tried to do small things to help remind us that we are indeed going to become parents. The nursery is starting to look like a room. Our agency has told us that the wait times are longer due to a significant increase in the numbers of families waiting for referrals. We will continue to wait patiently until our child is found. We know that it may be a long time until we meet each other but eventually we will all be together.

I think about our child every day and wonder when we will meet, who they will be and of our journey to become a family. This journey has been long and sometimes painful; however, it is said that anything worthwhile takes effort.
