Back In the Saddle!

I haven’t written lately because I had kind of put adoption in the back of my mind. We obviously weren’t going to get to share 2009 with a new child, but we still had each other as well as extended family and friends and it was just as much of a blessing to spend another year with all of them. I am very thankful. But almost as if I was on a timer as soon as it was the first Monday of the New Year I was back in adoption mode! I check my email regularly, in fact, ALL of my email accounts. I have started looking at the website more often. The prior months had been pretty dry and discouraging, but at least it APPEARS that everyone else is back in adoption mode as well. I have been making 2 or 3 submissions on different children at least every week and things look a little more promising. (minus the day I discovered the wrong homestudy had been being sent out on us which limited our chances of being picked) But hopefully that is all straightened out and we are on the road to the goal we are trying to achieve. Its not the end because we have a whole lifetime with our children, but getting him/her/ or they in our home is a major milestone. On top of everything else my new found fellow adoption friend has been matched with a little boy! I am so excited for her. She was getting so discouraged and there was not an end in sight. She was approved about 3 months before we were. Now things are hopping for her and its so exciting. I am also getting to see the process that we are approaching first hand! Say a prayer for their little family and the boy whose life may possibly be changed and blessed from now on! The boy wanted his case worker to tell the family that he is happy and is good, most of the time! *smile*
I feel like we should start getting some kind of news soon with all of the movement going on around us. Please pray for Gods wisdom for us and the case workers. And Dear God, if it could be soon, that would be a wonderful bonus!
