The Ways We Wait...

In two days we find out if we are legally Agnoti's parents; we wait with frantic anticipation.
Potential flight plans are in the works; we wait to spend $5,000.
Three boys are craving a sister; they wait for mid-September.
Primer in Agnoti's bedroom is drying; we wait to paint the final coats of Cranberry Coctail with Glitter Sparkles.
Guest-house reservations are pending; we wait for an embassy date.
Our arms feel empty; we wait to fill them with the most amazing one-year-old girl.
A little girl sits in an orphanage half-a-world away; does she know what's waiting for her?

Isn't there a saying..."All good things come to those who wait."?? Though the waiting is so hard sometimes, it will be well worth it. Good luck for hearing great news on the 31st.!! Luv mom & dad & gma.
