PATIENCE, PATIENCE...
This is an area that has challenged me (Allie) all my life. Mark is a great balance to this challenge as he is one of the most patient men I know. Our son Ethan, however, is.... well... a toddler. Some days I fully believe that God gives us children to humble us greatly. Patience, patience, patience! Then add a lot of love to that recipe and you've got the staples of parenthood down!
I suppose this is part of the adoption process too. Waiting Patiently.
I am very much an impulsive/infomercial type personality... I want results now! That's why when Mark and I both thought we would like to adopt in April, we gave it a good 3 prayerful months before moving forward... knowing that we would be open to which ever way God pulled us.
Now that we know adoption (international adoption specifically) is the direction God is leading us... we are on the hunt for an adoption agency. A few we have spoken with are:
All God's Children and Heart Sent.
So... this is Step #1 in our journey to find the child God has for us...
Anyone have any advice? We are learning as we go...
