The whole experience definitely stretches your faith. We have our own <a href="http://mialauren.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a> which tells of our experiences and you may find some useful information/encouragement. Although we are not done yet, we know in the end it will be worth all the waiting. We are in the process of adopting from Panama, as well, so we definitely understand your frustration.

I lived in Panama for more than 11 years and it is an unfortunate part of Panamanian society to hurry up and wait. Many adoptions in Panama go through the same tedious process and the unfortunate part of the process, the children grow up and miss out on having a loving enviorment that you would provide. Keep your chin up, the wait will be worth it once it's over. Jeff Jim,

I sense your frustration and completely understand. I lived in Panama for more than 11 years and it is an unfortunate part of Panamanian society to hurry up and wait. Many adoptions in Panama go through the same tedious process and the unfortunate part of the process, the children grow up and miss out on having a loving enviorment that you would provide.

Keep your chin up, the wait will be worth it once it’s over.

You've already written most of the words of encouragement that I would utter - that there is a plan, and things always happen at the right time - so I know that you already know these things. My guess is that YOUR girl is not available yet. I admire your patience and perseverance - I will keep you and yours in my thoughts. I’m so sorry to hear that you are not making any progress.

Especially where the joy of little ones is involved. It touches my heart to know that you wait. Good luck and soon. Patience is always a very hard thing.

It is very hard to understand why God wants us to WAIT so often! We are certainly learning some patience with the process of moving to Birmingham, but that's just a job, not our child! I can't imagine being pregnant with no due date--that's kind of what you're experiencing right now (except without this belly!). I know it's hard to feel it, but God is faithful and is working out the timing perfectly for you to get the little girl who is supposed to fit so well into the Auldridge family :) We love y'all...and her!
