This Week
This week it's snowing, cold, and winterish. I am once again running to the phone like mad lady every time it rings. I just know another call will coming soon. In other news I have been researching adoption somewhat, well somewhat extensively to be honest. I don't think we are going to go the route of adoption only. I have talked to several agencies and even agencies who adopt through the foster care system. Foster is what is on my heart-and I hope it will lead to adoption. I would love to adopt from Ethiopia, I have been in love with the Ethiopian children since I was 7 years old. I would watch Sally Struther's on Feed the Children and cry my eyes out. I am not giving that possibility up, just may be on hold for now. Ethiopia is becoming so popular right now for adoption, so the wait times are increasing. Then I think, our babies right here-they are waiting too. So I am just more affirmed that we are where God wants us. If it works out for an Ethiopian princess to join our family, then that will be wonderful too. I pray for the phone to ring, to be the news of my baby, for however long we are needed. One of my huge weaknesses is patience. I am ready when I'm ready. I know it's my battle, and my unrest comes from not having patience. "Patience is a virtue" is a truth that doesn't mean anything to you, unless you don't have it--haahaa! I do possess a little patience, just not for the things that I want!!

I have done a lot of research in Ethiopian adoption myself-as soon as God gets THE CAPTAINS heart lined up with mine-we're bringing 2 home :)
funny!!! I know what you mean. I have seen the wait time go from 3 months to 18 months! It's heartbreaking
