The wait.....

As friends and family know, we are in the stage of our adoption where we are waiting for referral (our match). We have been told it will be very soon, which is so exciting and also torturous. I have been in the "Will it be today?" mode for several weeks now, jumping at the sound of the phone both here and at work. Many adoptive parents have said that even though the wait is so hard, they believe that the child they were matched with was the one who was meant to be part of their family. So I guess we let go and let God do his amazing work of getting our child home to us.

After we accept our referral (we will get pictures and medical information) it will be about two to four months to travel, according to our agency PLAN. The trip is three weeks, with the possibility of it being longer if needed. While we would love Zach to go, he is not going to be making the trip.
