In the process of adoption, it’s easy to feel powerless. In fact, you probably should…because you are.
Your timeline, your future plans, your finances, your heart—including your potential future child—are all on the line. All the details are out of your control, and nothing is guaranteed. Even though this is the case for all of life, us hopeful adoptive parents certainly get a heightened dose of awareness of this fact. It is by far the most difficult process of surrender I’ve ever experienced, and I don’t think it’s just because I’m a bit of a control-freak!
