I think I am back on my feet.
I spent a couple of days in denial before I finally faced my crushed emotions about having to wait even longer for our daughter. I felt victimized by our circumstances. In some ways, it is still tough for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I have NEVER heard of another Ugandan adoption taking 19 months
I was confused at first….sounded like you were waiting for her still…but ended by saying you brought her home. This is a post from when you were waiting, perhaps?
We know that feeling currently, only without a referral. We’re praying, and growing impatient waiting. We know God has called us to this…but can’t wait for the real-ness we will feel when we finally have a picture, a name, a daughter. Right now we have approval, and a Hope-filled prayer and desire.
But we’ve only waited about 9 months so far. We know God is faithful….:) Thanks for the reminder.
Sorry for the confusion… This post was written years ago, when we were still in process. Ugandan adoption was still fairly new at that point. We have now been home with our daughter since March of 2011. I still remember the ache like it was yesterday, though. 🙂
Oh I love this! Amen– so very thankful that life is not fair! I’ll share this on our Hope at Home facebook page since I think we all need to have this perspective! Thanks.
