I would like to borrow, for my blog, a bit of one of your postings:<br /><br />"That 7 years of infertility teaching you patience isn't enough... you can never be patient enough. I thought I'd learnt this, but apparently not."<br /><br />Let me know if this okay.

Control of their lives has been turned over to a stranger-an entire agency! It is difficult for them to wait for contact from an agency and never hear a word. It is difficult for them to know that thousands of children need homes, while their spare bedroom with the dinosaur wallpaper remains empty. It is difficult for them to have their lives, their finances, and homes scrutinized by professionals whose job it is to decide if they are suitable to parent. In the Bermuda Triangle of law, social worker, and paperwork, they are often lost."<br /><br />This is from the book Adopting the Hurt Child. I read this bit the other day and thought of you, and thought of my family. I continue to admire your reserve and calm. If they want to see pushy, they should meet me!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921112333988542529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4566785279148781067.post-47593753796674398702010-11-30T09:00:49.406-08:002010-11-30T09:00:49.406-08:00Patience is the hardest thing while going through ...Patience is the hardest thing while going through this process. My prayers are going your way. Like you, I found sides of my husband that made me love him even more as we worked through the adoption process.
