On Friday, January 13th, Covenant Care Services had its first adoption placement of the year!
What is adoption placement? This is when adoptive parents and adoptees have been matched up. The placement day is when the adoptive parents are officially united with their child(ren). Placement is what we are waiting for right now.
For Covenant Care Services (our adoption agency), once a match has been made, adoptive parents go to the agency's location in Macon for a placement ceremony. The adoptive parents are taken to a "waiting room". Then their child is brought to them. Lots of pictures are taken and then a celebration takes place. The video below shows the 1st 2012 adoption placement. This couple waited on their child for three years! We've also heard stories of shorter waiting times of six months. Hopefully we won't be waiting three years like this couple, but only God knows. Regardless, we have to trust in God's timing!
Honestly, it can be tough for us to watch these videos because we are not the couple in the video! Every time we see a placement video, we dream of the day when that will be us. At the same time, we do rejoice for the placements that have been made: for the birth moms who have made the wonderful choice of life by making an adoption plan, for the child(ren) entering into a loving family, and for the adoptive parents who are finally able to love on their awaited child(ren). Enjoy the video! Caution: You may experience tears!
