A big decision and an update

Hi Everyone,

 

 

We have prayed about bringing this little girl with Cleft lip/palate home and God has led us not to. She is just not the child God has chosen for us. Please pray though that this little Girl will find her forever home next week as that is when she is hoped to be matched with a family. It is sad for us not to bring her home because in the short time we have known her we have grown to love her. But God knows best and we just didn't feel peace about it. I do believe God has used this little girl to help us however in our adoption of our daughter. He has taught us that perhaps we will have a baby with cleft lip/palate in our family if not this adoption maybe the next so we are going to go ahead and do research on it. Also He has shown us that our daughter is going to be here soon and we need to be more active in preparing for her arrival.

 

We do have an update on the progress. We are finally out of the review room. CCAA has completed reviewing all dossiers through the 22nd of March. YAY!!! And referrals have been sent out to families through October 13th, 2005. We still ask for prayer for a speed up in the process because if they only match 2 weeks every month we are looking at a referral at the end of this year and travel in 2008. That is very sad to us. We are tired of waiting but I am still hopeful for a referral this summer. Please continue to pray for Kiana and her birthmom and caregivers.
