As a refresher, we waited for Sarah (DTC to referral) SIX MONTHS TO THE DAY. It went fast. Even as a first timer, it went fast. This time I knew would be longer. I was ok with that. Just thankful we were even going back.
In 4 days we will mark of SIXTEEN MONTHS OF WAITING for precious Sophie. I've been a good "waiter" too. I've sort of got my hands full here. At times I've been thankful that God knew we needed a little longer before Sophie joined us. :) But last month it hit...hard. My heart feels actual pain and longing for Sophie. Fear and concern. Comfort and peace. And God has begun collecting the tears I've cried for her in a bottle. And while I believe with my whole heart in God's timing. While I wouldn't want anything but God's timing. While I know that our sweet Sophie is safe in the arms of a loving God who has not forsaken her for a second, nor will He abandon her. While I know there is nothing to do but pray and wait...I am a mom seperated from her baby girl and I want her home!!!
We got news today that referrals are on the way. Somewhere between here and there. We thought at the very least they would break into November (they matched through Oct 24th last time so expecting them to do at least 7 days didn't seem to be overly optimistic). Today we hear that maybe they only matched through the 26th. Yeah, 2 whopping days...not even finishing October! This is insane!
But you know what? I'm going to hold out hope. I'm going to pray they at least get into November. God is not too small. He can shove an extra 100 referrals in that packet if He wants to. Lord, please want to. But, even if you don't...yet I will praise you.
So that's where we are. I'll let you know something more on Monday or Tuesday.
Keep praying for Sophie. Pray that arms are holding her. Eyes are looking at her. And that somehow she knows He is holding her safe in His arms...and her mommy is longing for her.
Sleep sweet in Him Sophie! I love you!
