We had our last PS-MAPP class last night. Crazy that it's already been 10 weeks! In about 2 hours, our licensing worker will be here to conduct our final homestudy visit. Then we wait. It is going to be a trying wait for us because we have a child that is waiting for a forever family that we are hoping to adopt. We know that during this waiting time, there is a possibility that this child could be adopted by another family and we are guarding our hearts so that if that happens, we are not devastated. Right now, with busy schedules and life, we have managed to do a good job at guarding our hearts, but while we wait and as things slow down for us, it is going to be more difficult. We know that God has a plan for us and for this child and our plans are oftentimes not His own. He may have an even better plan for us and our family.
So now we wait...

Oh Jennie, I so know how you feel. We don't have a little one waiting for us in the wings, but I have had the guarded heart conversation with myself about a million times. I think that is one of the most important parts of this journey; being able to prepare yourself for the emotional roller coaster & waiting for adoption day to really feel secure. Good luck and I'll be thinking of you and your family on your journey.
