We're still waiting....

It's been more than six months since my last post.  I'd love to say that we've just been so busy with our new family that I've had no time to write.  But that is not the case.  Oh, we've made forward progress.  Just not a whole heck of a lot!  We've gotten a new case worker.  That part is kind of disappointing, because we loved Rosa so much.  But, this is progress.  We've had our outside-agency home study, just a few weeks ago.  We have to wait for the study to be approved by 1. Contracting Agency, 2. Foster/Adoptive Supervisor and 3. Foster/Adoptive Program Administrator.  Which is to say, we still have a lotta waitin' left to do!

I've been reading adoption blogs. One in particular, Heart Cries.  Let me just tell you, this woman's story is such a blessing to my heart!  She is raw and open and beautiful and I am drinking in every word.  There are plenty of differences in our stories, but there are parallels, too.  Moments where I can only cry for her, because I feel her pain.  I've been there, too.  I am there now.  I want to bring every parent-less child into our home and love on them until each one knows without doubt that he is a child of the King, and is loved beyond all imagining.  I want to fill up this table every day, not just at Thanksgiving.  I want to be a living example of God's love.
