Hopeful Hearts

Longing for something that you thought would just naturally fall into place is a difficult place to be in. It's the realization that life is not taking the path that you had always dreamed of. This can be crushing news when it relates to something as big as how to GROW your family. Adoptive Families have to come to terms with not having full control of how and when they can GROW their family. They put their trust in a process that if often unfamiliar to them and without a definite timeline. They do their part and HOPE. This HOPE takes courage. Of course we all doubt and struggle and sometime we can only see far enough ahead of us to take one more step. The dictionary defines HOPE as "a feeling of desire for something and confidence in the possibility of its fulfillment". In the adoption world Hope bring miracles.
