Parts of your adoption journey have felt like we were real life players in children’s pencil and paper games. In the beginning, it often seemed like we were in the middle of a maze. We would go down one path (often running in our excitement) only to discover that that path ended in a dead end. Then we would turn back, find the main route again and continue along until the path again ended and we had to reroute yet again. We had dead ends that said “Haiti”, “Foster to Adopt”, “Russia” and others.
Needless to say, this was a frustrating experience as we were going through it. But in retrospect we can clearly see that all of those twists and turns in the maze were in God’s plan. We had to work our way through the maze to begin to clearly see exactly where God was leading us.
Once we were firmly on the path that God had chosen, He began to give us a series of events that made one of our dear friends say “He’s just connecting the dots for you!” Now it seems as if we’ve completed the maze and are starting a “connect the dots” that will create a picture of our future child!
