Bummed Out!

After weeks of anticipating "the call" of an upcoming court date, I am sure now that it will not come as soon as I had expected. Remember that post I wrote about expectations a while back? I need to practice what I preach! I should have known better, keep your expectations low. I have and continue to expect great things from God but I think my expectations were on people and that is never good.
Anyway, I found out last night after our agency had closed for the weekend that 2 more documents are needed before we can receive a court date. The most frustrating thing is that I have no control over getting these documents completed as they need to be gathered by our home study agency. What's more is that one of them actually needs to come from the state and all of us in the "adoption wait" knows how long that can take! Monday is a holiday so no work happening then and when I do get the documents, they still need to be apostilled! So a February court date is pretty much out of the question at this point and we will not be able to celebrate our oldest son's 4th birthday with him as we had hoped. I'm incredibly frustrated right now. I know it's all in God's timing and that He is in control but knowing that doesn't make the wait easier. Almost 2 1/2 years ago we started this adoption and we are STILL waiting!! Please pray for me, I'm in a bad place right now. Thanks.
