Well we have made it to our 1 year anniversary. Exactly one year ago today we filled out our application for our international agency and applied for our Russian Program. While I knew that adoption would be hard, I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought it would be this hard. We are heading forward and are looking on. We have had our ups and our downs. One major up is that we are about 2/3 funded. We are getting there. While there have more downs than I can list the worst is that we still have a long road ahead. We are sticking it out. Keep praying and hoping that no more "incidents" happen. That the agreement is signed, and that things start flying in Russia.
Paka,
Denise
A Year of Change

I think about you and your family all of the time. I wish that things had gone more quickly for you...but I truly believe that your little one will be the right little one for your family.
ReplyDeleteI know this doesn't help much (or at all) but I really struggled for the year that Steve didn't know whether or not he was ready for a third child or if he was ready to adopt. I mean, it was a hard year. But...NOW, I look at Natalia and I'm so grateful that we waited that year because otherwise, we wouldn't have found our way to her. Like I said, I know it probably doesn't help to hear this now...but I hope that maybe it might help you in your wait: Maybe YOUR little one just isn't quite ready yet.
Jen, that was a great reminder. I agree whole heartedly. Denise, hang in there! Praying for this agreement to be signed!! ...and for you go get to meet your little one soon!
