So it's been a week and a half since Robby and I submitted our adoption application. On the website of the adoption agency we're looking to work with, it says that someone will contact you within 5 business days of your application submission. Come last Friday (officially 5 days), I was beginning to wonder what the deal was, but my weekend was so incredibly busy that I didn't have much time to ponder over it. On Monday morning I received an email from the agency and this is what it said:
Hello!
I apologize for the delay in response. I have been out of the office last week. I wanted to confirm with you that we have received your application and Christian questionnaire form, along with your payment. I am going to process this application as quickly as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or I can help in any way!
We look forward to working with you!
Blessings,
Marie
I've read that email probably 7 times or more now and I'm just so excited! While this is pretty much zero news, I still wanted to write about it because I AM THRILLED TO BE ADOPTING! It's real and it's finally happening... wow! I've waited and prayed and talked about this for at least half of my life and to think that it's finally beginning is almost unreal. I feel so ready, though. So, so ready. I've started thinking about the fact that somewhere out there I might have a son or daughter growing in his/her mother's belly. Or perhaps even born already. I am anxious for the day that I lay my eyes and my hands on my child- just like the day I gave birth to my other three children. A day like no other!
As soon as I hear back again from the agency, I will update here. Hopefully very soon!
