While we wait...

Our family went through the profiles available online and entered the age ranges that we were approved for.  There were only 6 profiles including 2 sibling groups and 4 individual children. Last week, we started by requesting information on the 2 sibling groups first.  Within 4 days all but 1 child was taken off the website. I was told that could mean the children were reunited with parents or were ready to be matched with another family.  This left me hanging because I didn’t know if we were one of the families being considered for one or any of the children.  I asked about this and was told that less than a week had passed and some workers take 1 week or more to consider and organize the family files submitted.

We were told we have to wait for at least a week or so. I’ve had the conversation with the girls about God’s will being done in this adoption. I accept his will and plan and have asked him to shut and open doors as he sees fit so we get the child(ren) who He intended to become part of this family.  The girls were sad to see the pictures disappear from the website a few at a time but they are willing to wait for God’s will.

But on a good note we are registered for a matching event this weekend and are excited to see other kids that haven’t been posted on the website yet or we haven’t heard of. We have our family flyer submitted and our worker will have several copies to hand out. I am praying to be able to share this Christmas with more kids but open to God’s will and plan.

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to wait and attend the matching event.
