Well....we contacted our first adoption agency and we weren't impressed. :-( So we moved on to option #2 and much to our surprise, we weren't impressed with them either. AARRRRGGGHH!
As I sat there on the couch (Thursday night 4/15 around 8:30pm) thinking about our future, it dawned on me the two agencies we didn't care for were the ones I had chosen. Of course, I began to sob uncontrollably. I then started asking myself a million questions. How could this be, when all I did for the past week was research? Did I not do ENOUGH research on them? Did I not follow my heart? Did the agencies "sell" a good game? Would we ever become parents? As I was crying like a little baby (no pun intended), Chris came out from the bedroom, sat down next to me and gave me a huge hug and just let me cry! I'm so glad he just held me while cried and didn't try to "fix" things (as he often does). After the tears had stopped (man, did it feel good to cry), I took a shower, gathered the two agencies information packets and placed them in a file tucked away in a drawer! :-) We "regrouped" and went back to researching other agencies/attorneys. After lots of prayers that night, God led us to an adoption attorney that a friend of ours used three years ago. We called and made an appointment to meet with him to discuss our options. We currently have an appointment with him on Monday (4/19) @ 4:00pm. In addition, we contacted another agency and another attorney to further interview. Please pray that we find the right fit for us!!
LESSON LEARNED: To always remember that "God is in control" and knows what He's doing. That this is going to be a long road but one WORTH THE WAIT!!! Our time will come when we're "BLESSED BY ADOPTION"!!!
