We have hit the 8 month mark in our adoption journey. Our journey to parenthood is getting closer to the 6 year mark. Wow what a journey this has been so far. It definitely has not been an easy journey. There have been very few highs and even those turned in to really big lows.
The only comfort I have is that we are so close. We have to be. I am still hopeful that we won't hit the one year mark. We will likely hit the 10 or 11 month mark but I don't want to hit one year. I would love to see the picture of our baby before Christmas. It would be an amazing gift. I know that that may not happen but a girl can dream right??
I found this poem on the forum today and it touched me so I thought I would share it with everyone.
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone
But still miraculously my own
Never forget for a single minute
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.
I think it is a beautiful way to describe adoption. Even though I don't know if we are having a boy or a girl or how old or if they have hair or not, I love that little one already. They have been growing in my heart since we started the adoption journey two years ago. We never dreamed we would still be waiting for the love of our life two years later but we are and we will continue to wait. We know our little one is out there. I dream of them everyday and I can't wait to meet them, but wait I will. They will come to me when they are ready and I will be there with open arms and probably a bunch of tears.
