Happy Mother's Day! It is hard to believe that someday I, myself, will be a mother. The thought is overwhelming in so many ways.
When we started this process, I told myself that I wouldn't allow myself to get overwhelmed. This process is in God's hands, and I need to trust in him. I continually struggle with my "control freak" tendencies (I'm only human) and continue to pray for patience and acceptance of God's time because he is right, true and just.
There are only three things standing in the way of our family growing in numbers:
1. Our homestudy: We submitted everything to our social worker over four weeks ago and still haven't received the rough draft.
2. Our DBM (Dear Birth Mother Letter): We have been working on it for the past several weeks, but continue to struggle with finding the words to say how much this process means.
3. Being chosen: This could take days, weeks, months or years to happen.
Of these three things, the only thing I can control or take responsibility for is number 2. We need to finish our letter. We need to speak from our hearts. We need to speak to our unborn child.
We need to pray for God to give us the words and focus on what is within our reach.
