Last night I had a dream.
A beautiful dream.
I dreamt I was walking downstairs in my parent's house, and my baby that we are aching to hold ran into my arms. I woke myself up in tears. Tears of joy for the dream yet sad when I awoke to empty arms. I had a busy day to get up for but all I wanted to do was close my eyes and pray that the dream would happen again.
Waiting for this dream to turn into a reality.
15 months since we applied for our precious bundle.
Almost 6 months of waiting for a referral.
And today seeing so many babies that reminded me of ours...
Just one of those days.

I've had similar dreams -even still- and woke up in tears many times. I understand what you're feeling, though I cannot understand having to wait THAT long. It's not easy. People who have not adopted just don't get it. But I do.
Praying for you in your waiting!
Andrea, praying that your referral comes sooner than you expect so you can hold your precious child!
Waiting is always difficult. But know that at the end of the wait, is your beautiful child. Thank you for being such an example to us about what it really means to rest in His timing and grace.
