"Anxiety in the heart of a man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad." -Proverbs 12:25
Today I got some good news...I talked to our adoption agency and she said it was OK if we ended up taking longer than 2 months for our dossier-that 2 months is just what they recommended (6 months is the real deadline). So even though we are working diligently on the dossier - now we can just work on it as fast as possible without being scared we will lose our "hold" on our little one for being a day late.
Also today, I emailed over the last paperwork item we needed for our Home Study. We have a meeting next week with our social worker, and then our Home Study should be completed!
Although I know we have "extra" time to get our paperwork done, I feel very compelled to get this paperwork done as soon as possible. During the evenings when we we pray for our little one in China, I think of her sitting in her crib ...waiting. Little ones in orphanages tend to spend a lot of time in their cribs. I don't want her to have to wait a day longer than she has too.
Oh, the vision of her in her crib broke my heart. I want our little girl home. Here. Love you all.

Oh that is very peaceful to have the external time pressure relieved a bit- because the internal pressure to get her home is certainly more than enough! This is all part of the "adoption pregnancy." It is so exceptionally hard and painful and usually out of our control. Yet, when it's all over, and she's safe in your arms, you will see the perfect timing. Praying behind you for her protection and that she knows His presence all around her as she waits. Praying also for you to see her in His hands as you are unable to hold her.
