10 Ways To Stay Positive During the Wait

Author: Donna  |  Category: Adoption

My online friend, Jessica, has “tagged” me! This is sort of a cyber game of “You’re It”. The “wait” refers to the time between our Logged In Date (LID) and the date in the (far off? near??) future that we’ll be matched with our child. Here goes, and in no certain order of importance…

1. Take a few fun trips with my family.

2. Work on Lainey’s afghan and beaded socks.

3. Read as many adoption related books as possible!

4. Start a Journal and scrapbook for Lainey.

5. Work on decorating her room (painting, etc.)

6. Finish house projects (landscape backyard, paint inside, kitchen counters??)

7. Enjoy the many Secret pal swaps, Cyber baby showers, etc. with my adoption Yahoo email groups.

8. Find some sweet soul to make Lainey’s 100 Good Wishes Quilt.

9. Meet with other prospective adoptive parents here in Jacksonville.

10. Constantly remind myself that God has this whole wait in His hands; and that our Lainey will be a reality one day.

    I especially liked the last one! Yep, God is totally in control, and all things work together for the good of those that love Him. Something to comfort ourselves with as we wait! What colour are you painting Lainey’s room?
