As time goes on the more I (James) gets frustrated with the adoption process but then I look to my faithful, loving, supportive wife and with her strength I realize that I need to have patients and that God has the right family in mind of us in his time. It is just so hard to keep seeing these families of children that need a loving home and thinking this is the one they are a prefect match for us. So we submit our home study and sometimes take months of hearing nothing then all of a sudden hear they have been placed and we were not even talked to. Or they look at our home study see we are not currently in the US and say no way. Then there are those sibling groups on an national adoption website so we submit our home study and then they say "Oh we are looking for a family that is living in this state," and all I want to say is well if that is the case then do not put them on a national website of state that flat out in the child presentation.
With all that being said we are staying strong and loving on our birth boys while remaining busy with life. WE just keep praying for God to bring forward the family he has chosen for us, and just keep submitting our home study for more groups hoping that this next one will be the group so that our hearts will stop breaking just a little more with each disappointment.
I never imagined that with so many children in foster care and looking for loving homes that we would be a year and a half into this and still not have the prospect of new children become a part of the family soon.
I will just keep praying and trusting the Lord.
Thank you everyone for the love and support you show.
