It's Mother's Day - Waiting, Not so Patiently

We just completed our fingerprints this week for the CIS. Hopefully we will receive our approval from Immigration soon. That will allow us to finish our Dossier, get it to Ethiopia, and be officially waiting for our referral. I hope that by next Mother's Day I will be celebrating with all 3 of my children. I was bummed to learn that there are now 64 people ahead of us. That means the waiting list has doubled in the last couple months. I am sad that we will have to wait even longer but I am trying to remember that it is all in God's timing. I know he has it planned out for us already. Maybe he knows it will be a while before our child will be born and ready for us. Maybe he is knows when financially will be the opportune time.
