and waiting...

OK, I just can't believe we're still waiting:) 11 weeks now as #1. We called our social worker a couple weeks ago, and she unfortunately told us that someone else is on the list to adopt a boy or girl 2-6 years old. In order to get 2 Unrelated children, we had to wait until we were #1 for infant girl, then if NOONE else had requested an older boy, we would get both referrals at the same time. Well, someone else has requested that older child, so they would be ahead of us for him. So, we don't know how long our wait will be for 2 children. We are still #2 on the list for siblings. If we changed our request to 1 infant, we would have the next one for sure. But, we really feel God is calling us to adopt two, so we will continue to trust in Him and know He will get us through this time.

Also, they have said this week that for those of us that don't have referrals yet, we will most likely not get a court date before the courts close in Aug and Sept. So, it will probably be October before our first court date and Dec. before we can bring them home. It would take a miracle to get them home this summer still, but God is a God of miracles, you never know:)

  1. I'm still praying for you guys!! We've been #1 for a boy (over 1yr) for about 9 weeks now. It's frustrating to say the least. And a bit disheartning to know that we most likely won't be bringing them home until Christmas... But like you said, God is a God of MIRACLES!! I'm praying you get your miracle (read: THE CALL) this week!

  2. I have been praying for you guys, Katie. My heart is breaking for you and some other families who haven't received referrals yet. I would like to come down to KC sometime this summer so maybe we can set up a weekend to get together. I would LOVE to see you guys again and you can love on our boys while you are waiting...
