It has been 19 months today since our paperwork was logged in with the CCAA. 19 months of official waiting. As for our request for a child with a SN, we have been waiting for almost 5 months. We heard this past weekend that another Okanagan family was matched with a baby girl, so that moves us up to the number 2 spot....or maybe...do I dare even to hope...to the number 1 spot? We have an e-mail out to our agency asking for clarification, but have not heard back yet. Once we are on the top of the pile, our wait time is still uncertain. One family waited for 8 months once they were on the top, while another only waited 2 weeks. I feel that we are close to finding her. God has given me great excitement about her homecoming over the past couple of weeks. We even went shopping on Saturday and bought a ladybug crib bedding set and sling to carry her around in. Really, those are the only two purchases we have made to get ready for her arrival. I think up until now we have been guarding our hearts...and now, for myself, I am feeling peace about letting that guard down and allowing myself to get excited.
That is exciting!
