I've been watching the American Adoptions forum and following the "waiting..." thread. It's kind of confusing. There is NO way to gauge anything on that forum. Some people have been waiting for 16 months, some have been waiting a month. Each profile is different, the budget vs. the flexibility doesn't seem to matter. A few ladies started to talk about checking in monthly with their social worker. I emailed Kelli and she said that she keeps a close eye on her people and that if the exposure level falls below average that she gets in touch with you. So, in the meantime, we wait, and wait and wait. We wait for a phone call from some birth mother's social worker or from Kelli to say that we need to change something. Tomorrow will be day 40.
Having Mom here and working on getting her settled has been a good distraction! I can't believe 2 weeks have practically flown by. Also the bluegrass festival is right around the corner and I'm working on the PR work for that. It's been a good few weeks.
Still praying for a call!!!! =)
I am Roxanne Williams. I became a Christian 34 years ago at the tender age of 4. I became a wife 16 years ago to the most wonderful man alive. We had the privilege of becoming adoptive parents to Jacob 16 months ago when I also became a Stay at Home Mom. This has been my dream and I thank God and my Husband, John for the opportunity every day.
ABOUT US
- Roxanne Williams
- Kansas, United States
- This started out as a blog about our domestic adoption. So all of the older posts are about that journey. It was an interesting one, and it led us to our son, Jacob. My dream since I was a little girl was typical of most little girls. I wanted to get married, and have children and be a stay at home Mom. Although, not a very popular choice for a profession now a day, I find it very rewarding. As a matter of fact, every day is an adventure! I've been told personally that the stay at home Mom profession isn't 'work', but spend a day with me and you'll see just how much 'work' it is!!! It's blessed work!
