In most of life I would complain if someone reduced me to a number. But, today I am excited to be given a number. As of right now we are officially on the wait list...actually two lists. It is hard to explain how it all works but here is where we are in the two lists.
MALE - #65
FEMALE - #92
Those numbers represent everyone who is adopting a children of any age. We are pursuing to adopt a child who is less than a year old so that means the numbers are a little deceptive. Here is a quote from our agency that helps explain it all.
"We take many things into consideration when issuing a referral and we will go down the list to find the best match for the kiddo at hand....a family may not need to be the first on the list to receive a referral, just the best match at that time."
A great Day for us! Now we wait.
Thankful to be a number.

Yay!! I'm just SO excited for y'all!! Praying the rest goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteYay, it's a step closer to that sweet child! Thankful you're a number too!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog through a link or two from someone else's blog I follow, and I'm pretty confident that I don't know your family even though you look REALLY familiar!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to send some encouragement and prayers your way. My dear friends Sean and Dana Cordell (www.indescribablyhappy.blogspot.com) adopted a little girl from Ethiopia two years ago, and they are now waiting just like you on their second child (a boy!), who will also be from Ethiopia!
It's been amazing to see their process and it's so great to know that others are on a similar journey!
All the best,
