Moving On Up!

Two weeks of being on the "Wait List" and we've moved from #53 to #46!

Our agency sends out a weekly update to waiting families. This Friday's update brought BIG smiles to our faces and made us realize that our dream might be closer than we think. We thought we'd share a bit of our agency's update with you:

Referrals Have Arrived!!

What a great week it’s been for referrals. This week we surprised 6 unsuspecting families with the long awaited news of their referral. We are so excited for them, and are celebrating with them.  Congratulations to all of the families and the children.

They are:
Male – 2 months old – family waited – 10.5 mos
Female – 4 months old – family waited – 10.5 mos
Female – 15 months old – family waited – 8.5 mos
Male – 6 months old – family waited – 8.5 mos
Female – 6 months old – family waited 7 mos
Male – 5 months old – family waited 7 mos
 
As you can see, the wait times have gone down quite a bit at this point, especially for infant girls.

We had to read the last line a couple times to make sure we read it correctly. Wouldn't it be great if the wait to see our daughter's face for the first time was just 7 months away?! The thought of it makes us giddy!

However long the wait we know God has lead us on this journey to meet a very special child, created from our hearts, half a world away and everything will be done in his timing.
