As we stride into the last two weeks of our six week waiting period the temptation is to worry about the eleventh hour. You hear a lot of stories about adoption when people discover that you're adopting. It's in people's natural design to long to connect and so you hear stories about someone's aunt or neighbor that adopted or more personal stories about how someone's own family came to be.
I have heard countless stories about people who were within 24 hours of finalizing an adoption only to have someone change their mind in the eleventh hour. It is not wise for us to assume that because the final round of letters was sent out two weeks ago, that we are in the clear.
What I do know is that God exists outside of time. He already knows if and when we bring Simon home. He has already seen all the days of our lives, Simon included. It IS wise for us to trust Him. So when the temptation to worry creeps in I close my eyes and remember who created the stars so distant, powerful and majestic...the snowflakes so detailed, fragile and fleeting...the oceans so deep and full of life, color and beauty...tornados so powerful and specific...and my children so flawlessly perfect. That is who is in control.
