You know, sometimes it is so hard to explain the complicated world of adoption. We have been officially in the adoption process for 2 1/2 years, and I must say that we are growing weary. Our hearts long for our daughter.
Yesterday, I was trying to get Ashton down for a nap when he dropped a bombshell. He said, "Mommy, when is God going to bring Julianna to America? I'm lonely." I asked him why he was lonely and the response that I got was this, "I love you and Daddy and I have fun with you, but I want another kid to play with...I'm lonely." I had to wipe the tears from my eyes. What I wouldn't give to be able to have another child - by adoption or birth!
Every day, several times a day Ashton prays for Julianna. We are getting very close to the top 10 families waiting for a referral. My mind knows that our time is coming, but that is so hard to explain to my heart and to my 4 year old son!
Two more families received referrals today, so we are so excited for them! Please pray that God will contine to unite families and also help us all financially prepare for the final costs associated with our adoption process. The economy is hard on everyone and costs just keep increasing all around, however we know that we are in the center of God's will and He will provide all our needs. It is so amazing to be able to travel down this adoption road!
