I'm afraid I don't have much of an update.
Over the past few weeks we've been weeded out that we were not an option for one child or another because either A) we don't live in the same state as the child or B) we have two younger kids.
Which I understand.
We have a list of "favorites" on the AdoptUSKids website. You have no idea how much I HATE that they named it a "favorites" list. Why not potential matches? Or something like that, you know? Favorites. Psh.
Anyway, several of the kids on our list that we haven't inquired on yet have been placed. I'm so happy for them. Another child is going to a loving family.
Over the last week or so I keep reviewing all those children on the list, potential matches, wanting to inquire on more kids since we only have a few home studies out there currently, but I just don't feel strongly about what's left right now. I feel...bleh about where the process is at right now. Things are kind of stagnant.
I can only imagine what it is like for those parents hoping to adopt newborns who end up waiting YEARS to meet their future child. Our family has only been really on the search since the end of December, not quite 3 months, and I'm frustrated.
But. But. I know this will all fall into place when it's supposed to happen. I'm not going to stop checking the websites every day, but I think that as the time draws closer for our family to head back to WA for the spring and summer, the search will take a little bit of a backseat.
And we will find our son when the time is right.
