My husband and I adopted a wonderful little boy from Korea 3 years ago and are now in the process of adopting a beautiful little girl. We received her referral on January 9. She was 6 months old at the time.
It is now 3 months later and she is still not home. We have hit several bumps along the way with paperwork, communication mishaps, etc. It will probably be another entire month before she is here and she will be 10 months old.
I am having a really hard time with this. I feel like I have missed all of her babyhood. I prayed so hard that she would come home quickly and truly expected that she would since our son was home in just 2 short months after referral. It feels like my prayers are falling on deaf ears. I just don't understand why it had to work out this way. If it hadn't been for the mishaps, she would be home and in my arms already. She could have, and should have, been home by the end of March.
So, I would really appreciate your prayers. As much as I'd like prayer for her to be home in less than a month, it would take nothing short of a true miracle for that to happen at this point. So, I even more need your prayers for my state of mind. It's taking everything in me just to get out of bed in the mornings and face the day. I was just sure she'd be home by Easter and now the thought of her frilly dress hanging in the closet and her basket of goodies just makes me feel sick. My heart aches so badly. I need peace, patience, and perseverance.
Thank you,

P.S. Here's our little girl if it helps to have a face to connect with the prayer!
