15 months
15 months today, waiting on our sweet leah. And I have felt every day of it. My prayers lately are that soon this wait will end. I am not sure why we are waiting like this, but there has to be a reason. She must be out there somewhere, under the same moon. This is stretching me like nothing ever has. My heart seems to break with each long passing day I do not see my child. I love her, and a piece of me is missing. Trusting in god that he holds her and knows her name.

- We are waiting to adopt our fourth child from the U.S.A. I am a momma to three other awesome children and wife to the love of my life. My boys are homegrown and my daughter is adopted from S. Korea . We cannot wait to meet our next baby!
Praying this is your last waiting milestone of this part of the wait... So so hard.
ReplyDeleteI so understand!! I have thought of you guys all day today, with the increase in fees and all. I was just curious, is it fifteen months since you started the paper-work and signed on with the agency? Or what did you consider to be the start? Everyone charts their wait kind of differently so I was just wondering:)
ReplyDeleteIt's always darkest just before dawn... hang in there!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, pretty much since we mailed our application in to our agency. I started my timeline at our adoption meeting, 4 days bef9re we sent in our application and money. How long are you at now and when do you think you will see your sweet baby?
ReplyDeletePraying that this is the last month of waiting before you see sweet Leah's face!!!
ReplyDeleteI started my timeline pretty much during the homestudy and application because they were only 1 1/2 weeks apart. We just had 1 HS meeting, I know some agencys require a couple. Anyways, so we just hit the 12mos mark, but from the very begining, our agency said 9-12mos until matched with a boy and 17-20 for a girl. They have always given us worst case time frames because they have learned that people get really upset when they move them out 6mos further. We could actually get a referral sooner. A few people I've talked to only waited 12-15 mos for a girl. Right now we are number 7, but anything could happen, right?? Last march we got six referrals in ONE month, and in jan, feb, and april combined about 5. So, we could definately get a spring referral I guess. I'm thinking worse case scenario Aug. If we are waiting in Aug....so help me..you know what that means...only X amount of exit permits are allowed a year:(
ReplyDeleteShe's out there Elisabeth. I so know how you feel. You can do it...I know you have heard it all by now but really it will happen. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteYou have to be getting close! She will come home!
