So this week marks six months in the wait for a referral! Six months…
Six months ago, I thought I’d have my referral well on its way at this point
Five months ago, I was getting ready for Christmas, thinking to myself, “Next year there will be three of us.”
Four months ago, I was ringing in the New Year, telling my sweet boy that this would be the year he would become a brother.
Three months ago, I started realizing it wasn’t going to happen this year.
Two months ago, I sent off my amendment, hoping maybe it’d help.
Last month, my first born turned four.
It has not been an easy six, but not terribly heart-wrenching either.
It did have a thought on Monday though… If indeed I get a referral in the next six months as I hope, and my girl is 0-6 months at referral, then the next six months will bring about:
The birth of one beautiful daughter with two bright, shining eyes, making us a family of three. And even if it takes a bit to meet her (which admittedly, would be excruciating), we will love her from many miles away, waiting anxiously to pick her up. The next six months will bring about the completion of our little family unit. To think that in six months, I may know my daughter… it’s not so far away, but it can’t come soon enough!
Praying for her to be well loved and cared for until she’s in my arms.
Home!

The wait is so hard and there is nothing I can say to make it any better. Just try to focus on the fact that you are half a year closer to your baby!

It's tough, but you'd better hunker down and just take it day by day. It's going to be a long wait. from... soon to be joining you and banking on 18months...
Rereading this, I realize it doesn't sound so positive, but it wasn't meant as a downer post. The next six months could bring about great changes in our family. I suppose it could still be a year before we hear anything, but I'm still hoping that that is not the case. Could be true, but I'm still hoping for around a year. I guess we'll see. All I know is that there will come a day when that call will come. And it'll be a great day. Even if it doesn't come for a year.
Happy Six Months!
