Well, our wait for our two children may be longer than expected. We thought it would be no longer than 6 months for our referral. It seems that because of the age children that we requested it may take us a bit longer. The agency says that it could be up to 12 months. When Kate told me that it just broke my heart. I am so ready to be a dad and I know that Kate is very ready to be a mom. We are both ready to be parents...or at least we think we are.
It's been a hard 24 hours considering that it may be another 6 months. Kate and I talked about it today and we do and don't want to change our requirements for our adoption. If we were willing to take an older child it would more than likely expedite the process. It's such a hard call. We're caught between a rock and a hard place. We want our kids so badly but we feel like that we should stick to our request for the ages that we put in for.
I could go on but I won't. I think it's important to just note the way that I feel and what we are going through as a couple as we wait for our adoptions to go through. It's such a long and hard process. I was telling Kate today that I will surely cry the first time that my kids fall asleep laying on my chest while I am sitting on the couch. I can't wait for that moment. It can't come soon enough. Until next time.
