CloudFormation/CDK wait for SES Email Identity Verification

Is it possible to get Cognito User Pools to wait for the SES Email Identity to be verified (wait for someone to click the verification link in the email)?

I'm getting AWS::Cognito::UserPool CREATE_FAILED "Email address is not verified"

Adding userPool.node.addDependency(verifyUserEmailIdentity) doesn't work as the resource has technically been created.
