My friends A&C are waiting and have been for some time now.
Over three years ago they began the LENGTHY process to adopt. Without a shadow of a doubt, they are some of the loveliest people I know and yet, their journey has been a difficult one. They tried to adopt locally in Canada, but seemed to be getting no where. So recently, they've decided to make the treck across the globe and live in Africa for a year so and adopt from over there.
I got a chance to photograph some adoption/family photos for them before they head off, and let me tell you what a blessing it was.
I'm excited for their journey, their story, and maybe in the next year a visit with them in Africa while they wait for their little loved one to join their family.
To their little one: Although we don't know you by name, we're excited to see you!!! You are loved already *(more than you probably know), but you well worth the wait.
And while we wait... we listen to this.
As if it's been three years and there's no sign of hope. It's crazy the stuff you learn here.
ReplyDeleteThe road to adoption is an emotional roller-coaster for many families. Best wishes to them!

Thanks Melanie- I'll pass on the message. And who knows... maybe you'll see photos from Africa on here one day! *(fingers crossed!!!)
