Finding Joy in the Wait

Last Tuesday, November 3rd, we had the opportunity to meet a birthmother. We felt like the meeting went well, and we were grateful for the chance to meet with her. After these meetings, both families take time to think and pray about the placement. We are confident in our willingness to move forward and are currently waiting on the birthmother to make her decision.

These are the times when the wait and unknown can feel overwhelming. Please continue to pray for us. We go through a whole range of emotions everyday waiting on a call to come. We are blessed to have such an amazing support system. We also ask that you pray for this birthmother. Adoption is a selfless thing, and her thoroughness with her decision is something to admire. Pray that God would grant her wisdom and clarity. Pray that He would make His plan for her child known to her. Pray that everyone involved would be obedient to God’s plan, no matter what that looks like.

Nick and I are praying for God to move mountains and build our family. However, we also realize the possibility that the answer could be “not now.” We are praying for God to give us the strength to praise Him no matter the outcome. God has chosen to bless us greatly, and we know that His plan is best.

That does not make this wait easy though. Please continue to pray with us and love on us. We appreciate more than we can say.
