Waiting for our Referral

Waiting for our referral has seemed like an eternity and it only seems to be getting longer. We've been waiting for over five and a half months. Rumor has it that the people at our agency haven't ever had people wait longer than 6 months when waiting for their referral. Our luck would be that we will be the first exception to that rule. Anyway, all in Gods timing.

Lately I have been thinking about what fatherhood will look like. I am sure it will be a total life changer if you know what I mean. I am really excited about the entire process. I've thought about everything from soccer practice, the kids first day of school, the kids getting their first "booboos". Just tonight Kate and I were thinking about how Nikka, our dog, is going to react to the kids. We both decided that Nikka will probably be eating any piece of food that the kids don't eat. I am very much looking forward to parenthood and all that it entails. I am sure that I will make some mistakes but I think that's to be expected. All parents do make mistakes.

As each day goes by I keep thinking that we will be getting our referral today. I hope each day that we get our referral. I know Kate is very anxious as well. Anyway, soon enough, soon enough.
