I'm sure this will be the first of many similar posts, but this week the waiting has really been getting to me. We are still #11 on the list. There has not been any movement in a few weeks and it's killing me. FAMILY NUMBER TEN is a huge step (You have to write that in all caps, because its such a big deal!) for us. Once we become FMAILY NUMBER TEN we can start our home study, begin our parent training, getting our references in order, etc. It's huge! It means we're getting close enough to start all the major paperwork.
But, for now, we're still at #11 on the list. I'm sure the family that is currently #1 on the list is feeling as much frusteration as I am, if not more. I cannot even image what it's like to be them right now. All I can think about is soon, that will be Dave and I. For now, I need to be content where we are and look at the small milestone of our journey. Like becoming FAMILY NUMBER TEN!
Hang in there Tanya - I know the wait is hard. There are months that fly by and then there are others (like now) that just seem to drag. I tried to come up with projects to pass the time. I'm so not crafty so any of those kind of things are out, but I did start taking acoustic guitar lessons. Good stress reliever and fun! I have a feeling that there will be a wave of referrals coming soon once we get some of these babies home. Sending positive thoughts your way :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Michelle! It helps! I was sitting here having a "woe is me" moment and your comments perked me up. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face.
