Hebrews 11:1

We've been active with our domestic adoption agency for about 3 months now (they are incredible, we love our case worker have I mentioned that). I’m not sure what we expected, but it’s been fairly active in terms of presenting our profile to birth mothers since the failed match. While we’ve presented numerous times, we’ve yet to match with a mama. There’s an intensity to the pace of domestic adoption… receiving information about an expectant bio mom, praying over whether or not we’d like to present, then waiting on a call or email. And while we wait, maybe we dream--imagine--plan out what it might look like if this is our baby and this is the due date and this is where we’d be traveling to meet him/her. While the “no”s have been hard, I think they give us all the more hope that there's a very specific child meant for our family. At least that’s what I tell myself!

While things feel quiet some days, God continues to show up. He meets us in the waiting. In the quiet. In the wondering. He calls us to a deeper faith and trust and hope in Him alone.

Faith, therefore, is the substance of things waited for, the evidence of things not seen. -Hebrews 11:1 

I have read this scripture over and over again. I cling to its every word. I have faith that we will have kids one day, and although this journey has been long and very trying we aren't giving up. We will wait and pray and search God's word and wait some more if that's what He says we need to do... because His timing, well it's perfect.
