Adoption Update

Hi friends! I cannot believe I haven't posted in 4 months! It also feels a little weird to update about our adoption when it feels there isn't much to update on. 

Let me update on our timeline then I will explain :)

 

First we were DTC (aka Dossier to China) 04/13/15

And then LID (aka Logged in to China/ CCCWA) 04/15/15

 

Both so quick and we were thankful!

 

For those familiar with the adoption world, we submitted our MCC (medical checklist) 10/2014

 

That means we have been waiting for our match (to meet our daughter) for almost 9 months.

We thought this process would take a year and out agency informed us we may have to wait 24 months to be matched! What a huge shock for us and something we have still been trying to process. We were saddened by this for sure as it felt this was not in line with "our plan". But we know God is good and His plan is much bigger and better than ours could ever be. And in the struggle there is growth.

We also remind ourselves to sit and feel sad or complain about the wait seems ridiculous considering our daughter is waiting in less ideal conditions for a forever family!

 

So here we are...waiting. And like I said earlier, an update on this part feels weird but we know God is at work. Preparing our hearts, our family and her heart for what is to come.

"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord"

-Psalm 27:14

 

Thank you all for following along in our journey! I will keep the blog updated with our comings and goings, as well as any news in our adoption :) Please pray for our daughter in China.
