Our adoption remains at a stand still. I just realized that we have been in the number one referral spot for a little girl for 11 months now. I talked to the director or our agency yesterday and was told that the past week there were children whose paperwork was completed, and she referred them to their potential families. The children were all boys, and unfortunately the way our original agency completed some of our Dossier paperwork we cannot accept a little boy. This helps us to remain hopeful though, because they are beginning to get new referrals after many months of none. We know there are little girls in the orphanage in Ethiopia who are just waiting for the orphanage staff to get their paperwork completed so they can get home. Somewhere in Ethiopia there is a beautiful little girl who is destined to have three big sisters (who still pray for her, still wonder about her, and who continue to draw her pictures and make her cards)! At this time, we are praying and knowing it is in His timing.
Goodbye carefree summer, hello beautiful fall!! |
