I heard it was hard...and yes, God is still GOOD!

My friend Mel, www.gettinglucy.blogspot.com, warned me. She said she thought if she could just see her little girls face she'd be ok. But then she said once she saw her, the wait was unbearable. I feel her pain. Day 43. There's a family with our agency that's on day 68 (!!). She wrote on RQ that she had talked with our agency and she didn't think she'd be getting their LOA til the end of the month. Why?? Vacations is one theory. I don't know why...all I know is that if this trend keeps going, we will be waiting about 80 days...maybe longer. After that, another 80 days before travel. I start to panic when I think about it. What ifs start flooding my mind. But when you look back over our journey, this shouldn't be surprising for me. We had to wait for our homestudy. We had to wait for USCIS. We had to wait for a referral. Which takes me back to the beginning of my post. Seeing her face. That precious little face I can't wait to cuddle and kiss. Yep...no doubt about it...so worth the wait.

  1. Aw Margy, yes you are right, NOW the wait becomes unbearable. I have no words of wisdom ... I thought I would learn how to be patient during the 6 months from referral to travel ... but I didn't. I just tried to keep myself as busy as possible.

    Oh, and don't upset yourself with everyone else's wait! What's the *average* wait right now? There is no rhyme or reason and some people just don't wait as long as other. Our wait was 59 days ... pretty average ... just keep plugging along and it WILL come! Sending you prayers!

  2. Praying for peace for you during this wait. I know it's hard. We were LOI before LID and waited for 62 days. I hope all the approvals speed up. Our babies are waiting!
