"Like cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a distant land"

The other night I started feeling like we were close to meeting our little one. Or at least like he was born and waiting for us. The next day I got this email and it got me all teary eyed at work. Our agency, Imagine Adoption, has bought a second transition home to keep up with the amount of waiting families here in Canada! Right now, if all the beds are full and they are waiting on visas they cannot take in any more babies. So, our agency just bought a 6500 sq. ft. home and purchased 40 new cribs! This also means that the old home will be able to have more room for older children and toddlers. In the email the words "lessen the wait time" were mentioned. Now, I know all you APs out their know what this does to you. I immediately became so excited at the thought that our referral could be on its way. However, I emailed my caseworker the next day and was told that this new home will just mean they can keep up with their current timelines. Hm.... what to do. I suppose I will just wait.

Adoption is such a bizarre thing though, because one moment I am rejoicing that they bought 40 new cribs and then the other I am realizing that 40 moms are in a desperate situation in order for these children to be placed for adoption. What feels like good news to us, is someone elses heartbreak. I pray that if our son's birth mom is alive, that the news of her baby being adopted will be good news to her soul and that she will have peace over the whole process.


(this is where our baby will live and where we will meet him....just had to write that because it still feels too surreal!)
