Well, we did it! We turned in our profile about an hour ago and are now officially waiting parents!! We feel relieved, scared, excited and exhausted. Mostly excited though. This profile was much more work than we originally thought. Thanks to many wonderful friends and family we got it done in just a few days. The letter to the birthparents was emotionally hard to write, it was difficult to know what pictures to put in and what colors and what words, etc. We had to continue to stop, be still and be reminded that our amazing God is in control. I know I keep saying this but my little human mind and heart needs to be constantly reminded of this truth. Our God knows this birthmom, He knows this baby, He knows our hearts and our desires and He knows what is best for us. Jake and I spent a few sweet moments this morning laying hands on our profile and giving it all to the Lord and both felt such peace and joy in that moment!
Now we just ask that you would pray for us as we wait. We could wait a week or we could wait a year. Only God knows at this point. From all the people that we have talked to (our social worker, adoptive parents, etc) this is the hardest part. The waiting. Pray that God would give us peace and strength each day. Pray that as we look in our baby's room we would be filled with hope and joy. We want to enjoy this time together, enjoy falling more in love with each other and more in love with Jesus.
Thank you again for your prayers. We feel them in each moment, unlike anything else we've ever experienced. We look forward to posting again to tell you we've been matched! We love you...thank you.
