Wow. This journey we began back in August of 2012....calling and then waiting for an info session for a couple of months, 9 weeks of PRIDE training, weeks of homestudy and then finally being open, and the waiting....and then we met A. It's a rollercoaster ride to say the least, but it's been almost 10 months now that she has been here and we are so glad that she is. Now she is officially part of the family, even though she already was one of the family. We are so thankful and grateful to God that our adoption is complete with her. It's very much a blessing. No more visits from our worker anymore (although she was a wonderful woman)!
After the phone call we called Albert to let him know and then we had a dancing/jumping party. A loves to jump! Micah took some pictures and then we took some more pictures! We also bought some cupcake mix at the store and made cupcakes to celebrate, A loves to bake as well! It is a really great day!
The feeling of her adoption being complete is like no other. I am so happy....I guess I didn't realize there was stress over this, but I feel peace. Feel joy. Feel elation. Feel thankfulness. It's just a wonderful feeling and only increases my love for A, knowing that she is ours completely. What a great feeling.
That isn't to say that there won't be challenges along the way. We've come to realize that having some openness in our adoption would benefit A....but that is for another post. Right now, I am simply going to bask in the wonderfulness that she is officially ours! :)
I'll leave you with these verses:
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
~Psalm 37:4-6~
