we're approved

So after I posted my conspiracy theory yesterday, we got the call later that day that we are finally approved! I still believe in my theory (funny how they can get 2 signatures in 2 days when our papers were sitting on a desk for 3 weeks!) but it is just good to know that we have passed this last hurdle. And so we continue to do what we have been doing since September…wait! Actually, we have been waiting on someone or something since the beginning of this process. Waiting for the criminal check, waiting for the medical appt, waiting to attend the education seminar, waiting for the Social Worker to complete the report, waiting while our papers were in transit, waiting for a stamp of approval…waiting, waiting, waiting!

We should be really good at waiting but alas, it still doesn’t come easy. I’m curious to know what my perception of our waiting time will be once we have a family. How quickly will I forget the distress I feel right now? Oh well, all I know is how I feel in the moment and all I can do is acknowledge where I am at in the process today.
