Is it possible that with all my indecision in the beginning about our adoption that I subconsciously put it out into the universe that we had ambivalence about the process, that these hiccups along the way were set up to challenge me to see if we had the gusto to keep moving forward? Is that all a bunch of mumbo jumbo or truth? Have I been getting in my own way? Someone whom I trust very much in my life and look up to presented me with that idea — not to make me doubt myself, but to say, is it possible? I just wonder. Or, again, were these hiccups a part of the Greater Plan to bring us together with our son at exactly the right time?
I want to correct my thinking which lately has encountered anxiety and worry about too many things — both within the adoption and outside of it. I have so many little stressors going on that individually don’t appear to be life changing or earth shattering but which, nonetheless, do cause stress. Have I not given myself enough room to ask for help and support for the huge undertaking of adding a 3rd child to our family and all that will entail? I have to give myself a break and chance to accept help, especially from Gary, my partner in all this. He’s had so much aggravation and stress with work the past month that I assume letting him on in the adoption stuff will be too much for him to bear. I need support too and I have not allowed myself to ask for it. I am not a martyr and don’t have to be. I need to feel a collective partnering and I now realize that the more I set the tone and involve him, the more support I will receive. I need to know he has my back. And, he is so responsive to this, I realize. All I have to do is ask. I am not my own island, especially in this adoption process — both now and when our son comes home to us, and when he grows and encounters a whole world of stuff out there. Gary and I are a team and we respond to our family as a united front.
I want to take a deep breath and realize a new truth because what I focus my attention on grows. This adoption process is effortless and easy for me. This is a breeze and Gary and I are totally in this together. I ask for what I want from him and do not expect him to read my mind. Whatever I communicate to him, I am setting up to come true. I want to declare this adoption process with joy. I am so close. I trust that everything is meant for our highest good and that whatever is meant to be will be. I have faith that the Universe is on my side and that the whole world supports my visions. I declare this adoption with joy and accept this child into our family with joy — and this is exactly where I expect others in my life to meet me.
Now, if you have already figured out that I had a Life Coaching session today, then you get a star!
My new affirmation:
I complete this adoption dossier process with ease and peace.
Finishing up the final steps will be a breeze, with Gary by my side to support me every step of the way.
One thing I've told people as we were waiting and people asked us 'When?' is that it is all about timing…just not our timing! I truly believe that it all has to do with meeting the child that is meant to be our child.

Yay! I love the new outlook! Positivity!
I had a friend tell me once, "Confidence and conviction will you you anywhere." So true! Sometimes I have to fake it, but like you said, I often wonder if so much of what we get back is really just a reflection of what we project? Looking for dirty spots will surely show us all the grime and gritties tucked in every nook and corner, but searching for the sunshine will make even a small break in the clouds seem to be a huge success!
I hope you enjoy the peace and calm, and perhaps even find the excitement in the small rays of sunshine that peek through!
