Movin' on up...

I know it has been a while since I last posted, but our lives have been pretty routine during the past month. Work, school, work, school, etc...

This past Thursday we received the monthly waiting families letter from our adoption agency. I, as an "expectant" mother LIVE for these. This one, as usual, brought a flurry of emotion with it. In the past 2 months 8 more referrals have been made...that means we have moved up 8 spots on the waiting list. By my estimation that puts us about 7 places from the top. Now I hate to get my hopes up, but since there seem to be 8-10 referrals every 2 months that means that we could VERY LIKELY have our referral in December or January! Jason was overwhelmed to think that our child is most likely born and being carried around on their foster mother's back as we speak!

The wait seems to go on forever, and I know that it could likely be longer than this, but I am praying desperately that our referral comes soon! What an amazing Christmas present that would be!

Please help me as I pray for our child's health and well-being, physically and emotionally. I pray for the person who is caring for our child. And I pray for patience and that during this wait the Lord is preparing our hearts and minds to be parents.

Until next time...
