Hurry Up and Wait

I’m learning that international adoption falls into the saying of “hurry up and wait.” In fact, I think it’s probably where the expression originated. Hi, I’m an Enneagram 3 👋🏻 and I can finish paperwork and beat deadlines like a boss. Give me tasks and I’m your girl. Waiting…. is not my forté. And we have A LOT of waiting ahead.

Where are we now? The short of it is that we have finished the home study process and are waiting on the report to be sent to our agency. From there, we wait for it to be sent to Korea. THEN we are looking at a 1-4 month wait for a “match.” I can’t tell you how many times we have said, “WE JUST WANT TO KNOW.” Do I buy tiny blue or pink Nike’s? Do I need bows or ball caps?

We know that every minute of waiting will be worth it when we bring our kiddo home.

Ways you can pray:

1. For our child. Pray they are in a fabulous foster home and receiving incredible, loving care.
2. For us… Patience. Patience. Patience.
3. For all paperwork to get to Korea and for their wisdom in the match process.

Our little Korean Cuyler, we’re so ready to see your face.
