Praise God! We received the date for our appointment with the SDA. It is July 2. So exciting to think that I will be seeing my daughter soon. I can't wait to see this happy face.
Over the years as we were foster parents, I could not figure out why we only got boy placements. Well, ok, once we did get a sibling placement with a girl but that in the end was not meant to be. It was hard to let her go not knowing if/when we would get another girl.
Two months later, I saw this face and I knew why. Why I had to wait so long; why all the disappointment and heartache was necessary; why His timing is so perfect. God was drawing me close to Him and needed me to be obedient.
Waiting all those years (my son is 19) has been so hard. But this girl is going to be worth it all. I know this is going to be difficult and there are going to be things we aren't prepared for. But we serve an awesome God who has put us exactly where we need to be. We rely fully on Him and know that this is His will.
So sweet girl we are one step closer to you. Praying that today God will somehow let you know that your family is coming soon. You are cherished.
