We are now at 16 months waiting.......Oh I hear you! We are now at 16 months waiting.....when we thought it would be 3-5 months when we started. It is hard and you have to live as if nothing is going on....and then in one day....that all will change and I know we will not be ready, just because there is no warning or time table to judge. It is a very hard place in the unknown wait. <br />Prayers and blessings to you!findingourdaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372367025416226455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533250459832170913.post-30574532083723130172009-08-18T23:20:26.629-06:002009-08-18T23:20:26.629-06:00Hi there...Just want to encourage you to remain pe...Hi there...Just want to encourage you to remain persistent as this is how you will be available for "the call". Giving up is the sure way to get nothing. By trying you have increased your odds from 0=not trying to 100%=trying. Persistence pays!!! I know as I have been in just the same mind set on more than one occassion. Please, keep moving forward, by hanging in there for your son!!! Many blessings and prayers for you...Trisha<br />abcdevctr@yahoo.comTrisha, Duane, and Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976575707985854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533250459832170913.post-30810447397204604782009-08-18T12:00:49.635-06:002009-08-18T12:00:49.635-06:00Sheer up my friend!!!!

If there is something I learned during my adoption is that everything happens for a reason and that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. You will be on a plane to Russia one day and back and then, not now, things will make sense.<br />Big Hug to you!!!
