Thank you to all of you who have been asking about our adoption, especially in regards to our most recent development. I had not heard anything Friday evening, in regards to the birth mother being shown our profile so I had already begun to process that this case was probably not going to be for us. I needed a sense of closure on the case so I contacted the social worker to get an update on where the case was at in regards to our family. They encourage the birth mother to choose 3 profiles so that in the case the adoptive parents she chooses, does not wish to proceed then they would move on down to number 2, etc. Another family has been chosen, but the social worker made it sound as though they may not be ready to commit??. She didn't know where we are at in the lineup, since she was not the social worker that presented the profiles to this birth mother. I really do not want to sit and think about if we were number 2 or 3 - - I don't want to build up any false hope. So we are moving on....waiting to see who God will bring along.
On Friday, we were told by a friend to contact one of her friends who has connections to a maternity house in Wichita. So we did, and emailed her our profile to be shown to any prospective birth mothers. I don't know if anything will come from this contact or not, as the counselor told me to contact her once a quarter.
Anyway - - my lesson for now is to let go, and let God. Very easy to say, not so easy to put into practice!
Joy, I don't want to discourage you; just the opposite. We waited on a list for 3 years for Taylor, and he was worth every minute of that wait. God knows your childe, and your childs time. Keep plugging along and make the most of every contact. Love ya.
