"There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.” -Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)
There is difficulty in waiting... impossibly trying to crystallize the potentiality of a future family. We're looking for answers, clues,... and yearning for clarity! The struggle continues to be to grow our own convictions while being faced with the adversity of not knowing. It's not that we expect convenience, immediacy, or predictability... its just that adoption (like the rest of life), provides us with huge unknowns and the context can appear to change very slowly... Observing patience once again appears to be the recurring theme of our cyclic curriculum. Perhaps it too is beautiful, like the horizon before the sun shines? Surely, it wouldn't be the first time that we've encountered divinity in the form of anxiety.

Ahhh, the waiting. Believe me, it does not get easier, 18 months "paper pregnant" & counting.
Good luck. Hang in there, it will happen!
The waiting is just part of the process. I truly have grown through it. It makes the moment of parenthood so sweet. Something only parents, that have really had to endure to become parents, can truly understand. You will understand . . . one day soon!
