Waiting....

It seems like that is what we're doing in regards to everything lately. We're still waiting to hear back from one of the police depts that Andy has been testing with. We're waiting to get out of the apartment we're currently in, waiting to start the adoption process, waiting to move, waiting to buy a house. The one thing that I can say is that I am having to really learn to be patient. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate waiting and hate uncertainty. I don't know why but I've always been that way. So maybe this whole thing is supposed to help me learn to be patient.
I know that there is a "plan" for us and will be revealed to us at some point...I just hope it involves us being much closer to our families!!

I saw this poem earlier today and just wanted to share it.

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD
Once there were two women who never knew each other

One you do not remember, the other you call Mother
Two different lives shaped to make you one

One became your guiding star, the other became your sun
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it

The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it
One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name

One gave you a talent, the other gave you aim
One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears

One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears
One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do

The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.

Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?

Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love
