Well glad yesterday is behind me and I can keep moving forward. I am sure there are going to be plenty of those days ahead of me. They say patience is a virtue but some days I believe it is over-rated. Make no mistake I do possess some patience. I do not spend my days worrying that Jacob is not doing this or that. I know that it is all in his time and that is fine with me. I love everything about him even the delays. I know he works hard and I know he is going to get there.
The patience I lack these days is knowing I have another little boy waiting on me and it is not as easy as hopping on a plane to go get him. That is very hard for me. This process seems to be dragging on. I spent two weeks waiting on a home study agency who told me they were changing policy and not doing independent adoption home studies. I found another agency who agreed to do it and am waiting on their list of documents they will need and THEN we can set up our first appointment. I want it done now. How do you stress upon these people on how much this means and time is important? I lost 2 weeks and should be further along. I don't want to upset anyone as getting approved by them is so important but... again my patience is lacking in this area.
So these days I seem to be having many ups and downs.. all because of the so called virtue- patience. Yeah I was right it is way overrated~ To my dear son waiting over yonder... we are coming :) and to everyone who pops in to read- THANK YOU for everything! Whether you donate, pray, or offer words of encouragement, know that it never goes unnoticed and from all of my family to yours- God Bless You!!!!!!
Patience is a struggle for me too, Lisa. I totally understand. Thank you for helping me find my son!! I owe you more than money could ever cover.
