Our Adoption Journey

• Nov. 18, 2007 - In Limbo

Ok, I can usually handle stress fairly well, but tonight the adoption related stress is getting to me.  We are just in limbo right now.  Nothing is happening with Arama's case, and I honestly just feel plain sad.  I am actually a little weepy tonight.

Not knowing anything is so frustrating.    Knowing that your new daughter is on the other side of the world and everything is out your control just wears on you.

My pregnancies took  their toll on me physically, especially the twins.  Adoption is just an emotional roller coaster ride.

So tonight, I will ask God to give me patience and  to comfort me.  I will pray that Arama is healthy and loved.

Although my adoptions weren't international I've been on that roller coaster ride and I know the frustration. Praying for U.

This is Dorothy from the Carolina Hope Website and mom to 9 so far. Don't despair in your waiting! These are the hours that sharpen our mommy hearts so that we are absolutly in love with those babies that He brings! I'm praying over you as I type and trusting that the Lord who created Arama and who has laid out every day of her life has the perfect plan through all of these days.

We received a SH grant in May for our #9 also~ what a blessing the ministry is!
