I am not sure how long this part of the adoption is supposed to take. I have heard anywhere from 2 to 20 days (I just love that part of adoption. Never knowing EXACTLY how long it will take. When you are pregnant, you know you have a nine month wait. It might go a little over, but for the most part you can plan on a solid 9 months. Adoption is not like that.) Already it feels like it has taken too long. :) We are waiting for our pre approval (commonly referred to as "PA". That is another fascinating things about the adoption world. It has its own "language". I am still learning it, but I know we sent in our "LOI" and are now waiting on "PA". Listen to me, talking like a native! LOL!) I have learned about patience and grace by following other people's adoption journeys. I only hope I can exhibit the same patience I have seen from them. These seasoned adoptive parents know waiting, patience, and grace are the name of the game in adoption. It is a labor of love to get your adopted child home. Lots of work and a lot of waiting patiently.
Three days in and the "patient" part is waning.
