Hanging in There

Today is the first day in a really long time when I have cried about how long this is all taking us- how long it will be before we have Jade home with us. I haven't had too many really hopeless days like this, but today was one of the saddest. Perhaps it was reading projections of 2013 that did me in.

In any case, I told my sister this morning about how I was feeling. She left work early and came and surprised me with some very special things. She brought me a holy adoption bear, a medal and prayer card for St. Thomas More, the patron saint of adoption. She also gave us a gift card for Cinemark movie theater for a date night for Ken and me. I was so surprised and touched.



I just have to keep hanging in there and know that Jade is at the end of it. As my friend Stan told me today, "Always remember if things are meant to be they will be and at times there are reasons for things happening. Keep praying and watching for signs." I will do just that.
