It's Official... We're Starting Our PaperChase!

Well, it's official! We started our paperwork this week and to be honest, I was very nervous! I'm excited that it's finally time to start after waiting for a year and a half, but I'm also afraid of the LONG wait we have ahead of us. But we'll be fine. First Fridays was great this month. It was all about the wait. I love how God does that... gives me just what I need, when I need it. We'd been struggling for weeks, trying to decide if we wanted to pursue Chinese adoption because the wait is 3+ years right now and we worry that it will only increase making us OLD by the time we get our baby! But FF, coupled with the message I got as I was getting ready to go (We're waiting for HER, not US), I feel ready to get started. AND, thanks to Dan Chapman for that awesome FF analogy.... We WILL get on that "big honkin' First Friday boat" and ENJOY the ride down the RIVER! :o)
