Still praying.....

Two more days until the seven week mark in PGN.....praying like crazy for no kickouts!! Yesterday I shopped for Elijah's Embassy outfit....ended up with MANY choices. Now I'm adding a prayer that I get him home soon enough not to have to take all the things I bought back to the store!
Over the past month, I've seen several of the friends I've made through the adoption process, get out of PGN, get their pink slips, and bring their children home....a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I can't help but think "Why not me?". I'm posting this knowing some of these friends will read this, but understand as adoptive parents how it's an uncontrollable thought when you are waiting. HOWEVER, on the other hand, it fills me with happiness that a child has come home to his or her forever family and with hope for my own child to be home soon. Most of these parents I've come to lean on for support and understanding (often when no one else does seem to understand) have been within a few weeks of me reaching milestones and that reminds me that my time is coming. My faith in that fact has wavered at times, particularly with certain developments I've seen throughout my process, but God has restored my faith and I believe it will be soon. Elijah will soon be home with the Mommy who misses him terribly and the family who so desperately wants to meet him.

Hebrews 6:15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
