The Wait of April

Two years ago I waited. I waited on blood tests and ultrasounds. I waited to learn if a little embryo was going to be a baby. I waited in a doctor’s office that became too familiar. I waited to go into surgery. I waited for my heart to stop hurting.

It’s April again. And now I wait on court dates and travel dates. I wait for paperwork to be checked. I wait for phone calls from our case worker. I wait for someone else to give up her rights, so I can become a mother. I wait for a judge to decide if the three of us can be a family. I wait for our son.

It's time for the waiting to end and for your life with your child(ren) to begin. You are such a wonderful person and have such strength!

I hope you know and feel that you are not in this wait alone. I agree with Theresa - it is time for the wait to be over. Sending you strength and peace for the coming days.

But during the wait, there is so much to be thankful for. Enjoy what the wait is bringing....:)
