That s not exactly true. We can help expedite the process by being Willing to accept a child of any or mixed race, or a child with physical, mental or emotional problems, or a child with an unknown history, or a child whose birthparents insist on visiting them once or twice a year, and require monthly pictures and updates on the child s development. Being open to all of these situations makes the waiting harder because we are told that if we are more open, we will, most likely, get picked much sooner than a couple who will accept only a healthy, white, well documented, unencumbered child. We have agreed to whatever stipulations a birthparent or agency requests, yet we wait. Good things come to those who wait.
Patience is a virtue.
