While adoption is a beautiful thing, there are some times
during the journey that aren’t very pretty. Our time at the hospital was
incredible, but we had some rough patches. There were some nurses who just didn’t care for us because
we were adopting and wouldn’t include us in anything involving Zain and K.
There was even one who kicked us out of the room and tried to talk K out of her
decision. At times, we felt
unwelcomed by the staff and it was very annoying when it came to caring for
Zain in the hospital.
Other things were more trivial. Derek and I had packed for 4
days, but K asked us to stay the entire time she was there, so we ended up
running out of clothes. We were eating every meal at the cafeteria and living
out of a suitcase. Staying in a small room where we couldn’t really relax was
exhausting and I was so stressed that I ended up being sick most of the time. Being away from family and friends was
also extremely hard. Our support
came from knowing that our friends and family back home were praying like mad
people!
The good times far outweighed the bad and even during those
rough times we could still clearly see God working. Even our agent was amazed
at the outcome of our situation. She said that our particular situation was one
of the riskiest our agency had ever done. She actually told us that she was
amazed that it had actually happened.
That’s God for you! He took a situation that from a worldly perspective
just shouldn’t have worked out and made the outcome something beautiful.
