 If you would have asked Drew and Bekah Moser at the beginning of their adoption process what the toughest part would be, they would have answered without hesitation, "the money." They knew the paperwork would be tedious and the waiting hard, but they assumed the $30,000 price tag would be their greatest hurdle. Amazingly, God has provided just what they have needed each step of the way. Lifesong was privileged to come alongside of the Mosers with a matching grant which helped stimulate the generous giving they have received from friends and family.
Actually, the toughest part of this whole process has
been the waiting!
As Drew describes: "It's harder than we ever imagined. Our baby girl is approaching 3 months of life, and we haven't touched her, held her, talked to her. We have no choice but to wait. It is so incredibly hard because it's so paralyzing. There is nothing we can do to speed the process along. Nothing, that is, but to pray.
We have a choice. We can passively wait and worry. We can twiddle our thumbs nervously and let annoyance and frustration reign. Or we can actively wait. We can harness all of that nervousness and anxiety and offer it up to God.
We're choosing the latter. Our desire is to adopt Eloisa into our family. It's a desire birthed from God's very heart. So we will focus more intently on giving our anxieties and worries up to Him, and ask Him to pave the way for this adoption to be completed."
