Our girls are officially STUCK in the adoption process AGAIN. I just want to shake people and say we aren't buying a house or car, this is a child we are talking about. A child without a mom and dad. The paperwork process to bring them home doesn't have to take a year. Unfortunately the reality is it does. Unfortunately all are girls are is another name on a piece of paper, under a huge pile of other children. Trying to trust in God's perfect timing to bring them home. He sees the bigger picture that we can't see or understand, atleast now and maybe we never will.
My worst fears were confirmed that paperwork wasn't done properly in the past so it will cost our girls more time away from their family. This was separate from anything we did or our agency and just in one of the girls' file. We now will wait longer to hold them and tell them they are wanted and loved. We watch other families fly through the process. We will watch them bring their children home while we stand still. I am so happy not every family deals with them and will celebrate with them. Honestly most adoptive families hit a snag or two. Some less then us and some a lot more. So I will keep my eyes looking forward.
A little progress is being made but we will be stuck in this step that is taking everyone around 2 weeks for another week. Total for us will be atleast 6 weeks. That is hard to take most days. Very hard. They are worth it though so we will get up each day and do what we can to bring us to closer to them. It makes it even harder when you approach holiday's and birthdays. I remember all too well being stuck in this exact spot with Mia's adoption. Her birthday is a day before Molly's and we missed it and Christmas. That shouldn't happen this time but the way things are going you never know.
We need prayer more than ever to get them home. Pray that the person working on our case does it in record time. Pray everyone she needs to cooperate does. Pray good news comes sooner than later. Prayer and Faith are all we have right now.
