On Wednesday, September 15th we had our first "Back to School Night" at Hemet High. I carefully prepared my classroom and my presentations for the night. I had been struggling for sometime with our adoption and not being placed yet. I think in general, I had just been a little down about the whole situation. Anyhow, I was presenting to my Yes I Can parents and mentioned to them that my husband and I are in the process of adoption. I heard an "aww" but didn't think much of it. After my presentation a parent came up to me and shared the adoption story of the student in my class (who happens to be really awesome). It was really nice to hear that there are happy endings... I went home feeling really positive and shared the story with Joseph.
Next day, on Thursday the social worker of a child that we were considering called me about "L" and we had to decline a match. It wasn't a no from them but rather a no from us. Hard none the less. I did cry a little and prayed that this young lady would find her "forever home."
Waiting, waiting, waiting, more patiently these days. I don't feel so stressed about the WHEN??!!
A good friend of mine and a woman who is super awesome in every way once told me, "Don't focus on the unknowns, instead focus on what you do know. God will never leave you or forsake you, He will always be with you, He is the Alpha and the Omega. He has good in store for you..." That is what I'm resting on.
Thanks Pastor Pam : )
