People ask, why do you post about things that could change, doesn't that make it harder? Yes, it does, but I want anyone who is about to enter the world of adoption to see that it is hard, there are so many bumps in the road and they are not alone. I don't want anyone to give up just because the plan changes! Because in the end you will have a child, a child that is so precious to you and that those bumps seem so minor to what THEY have been through.
So yes we hit a bump at the end of last week, we will not be working with the Agency we thought we would, it is a very strange story but I am ok with it. I do not want to be part of ANYTHING that does not put the needs of children first. We had really prayed about it last week, I fully gave it to God and for the first time in a long time I did not have to really listen, it was a NO do not move forward and he put a clear stop to that path.
So now we are back to the drawing board, we are going to speak to the agency that we used when we adopted Chaltu, this week, we also are considering domestic adoption. There are a lot more things to consider if we move forward in that direction, but there are several (that we have seen basic profiles) children that are school age but younger than Chaltu waiting...I am more nervous about this than international so we have to do some major homework and praying!
The journey continues!
